that tuna could taste that good. I just associated it with what I had grown up with: mushy, canned tuna (fishy oil and water-packed).

For some reason, I never thought there would be that big of a taste difference, unlike realizing that canned chicken would never taste anything like a whole roasted chicken.

I welcome your husband to our "holy leaping marlin, that's good!" club.
