Uses

Cold buffet and catering trays: Layer onto deli platters, stuff into deviled egg fillings, or mix into large batch dips and spreads for events and gatherings.
Soup and chowder bases: Add to potato chowder, seafood bisque, or vegetable soup near the end of cooking for chunks of tuna that hold their texture through gentle simmering.
Meal prep and portioning: Drain and portion into individual containers for weekly lunch prep, protein bowls, or grab and go wraps.

- Food banks and community kitchens stocking bulk shelf stable protein
- Home cooks who buy in bulk and freeze or refrigerate leftover portions
Preparation & Use
Drain the can well before using; water packed tuna releases more liquid than oil packed, so pressing the lid gently while draining helps achieve the right consistency for salads and spreads. For cold dishes, flake with a fork directly in the can or a mixing bowl. For hot recipes, add the drained tuna in the last few minutes of cooking to preserve its flaky texture. Once opened, transfer any unused tuna to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. Unopened cans store indefinitely in a cool, dry pantry.
Common Applications
This case pack is sized for commercial kitchens, but the 66.5 ounce can also suits bulk home cooking. A single can yields roughly 14 to 16 servings of tuna salad or enough tuna to fill a full sheet pan of tuna casserole. The water packed format means you control the fat and seasoning from scratch, which is useful for low sodium, low fat, or custom flavored recipes.
