Chicken of the Sea Salmon Cups

[mrspruett 0]

Has anyone tried these? I tried the honey BBQ and I liked it. They are small cups and sell for about 78 cents. They are the perfect size for a banded persons appetite. My only problem with them is that I could not find nutritional info on them. There was no listing for calories, carbs, Protein, etc. Does anyone know the nutritional info for these?:cry

Oh!! I love those! I can help with the nutrition info...at the store I go to they sell them in separate cups and in two packs, and the two packs have the info on them. Except I haven't found a two pack of the honey bbq salmon, just the singles, but they are really good.....

This is for the plain tuna and plain salmon....

1 tuna cup / 2.7ozs

80 cals

Protein 18g

1 salmon cup / 2.7ozs

80cals

14g Protein

Carbs are 0 on both

I buy these allll the time.

You can get the info at their website, it was a bit hard to find, though. Here's the link:

I tried the mandarin orange pink salmon, EWWWWWW. It makes me nervous to try the other salmon varieties. I won't touch tuna if someone has a gun to my head, so that's out... (Sad, I know)

Thanks Faithmd! That was what I was looking for. OOOH those honey bbq are a little high in the carbs. I thought the mandarin orange sounded a little yucky but the bbq are really good. I may try the tuna next.

In the process of getting ready for a Banded-Life I've been buying a lot of those kinds of foods. My favorite was the Cajun one, even though I'm not a fan of really spicy food, I thought some of the other ones were a little too sweet tasting, but I love the Cajun flavored one!

REALLY stupid question here, but does Salmon have mercury? I am drawing a complete blank (again) but is mercury an issue for salmon?

I have asked this before, I have researched it, I don't remember. I think it is a mental block from all those gross and nasty salmon patties on Friday nights growing up as a Catholic kid. I used to swear that as an adult salmon would never pass my lips again. I bought a can of it months ago and I can't bring myself to open it. I think a monster is going to climb out of the can and gag me.

I eat wayyyy too much tuna. WAY too much. As much mercury as I consume I swear I'll either glow in the dark someday or be like a thermometer and grow taller the warmer it is outside. Freaky concept considering I live in a desert.

Ooooo, I NEVER eat canned Salmon. I also had toooooo many Salmon patties as a kid. EWWWWWW! I would go hungry on those nights because I thought they were tooooo disgusting. I am not a fish fan at all. I DESPISE, I mean truly truly truly DESPISE tuna. The mere thought of it repulses me, the smell makes me immediately gag. Needless to say, I am not a fish fan.

But that having been said, I really do like FRESH salmon. And it does have to be fresh. If it smells fishy, I won't touch it. I love it broiled with some lemon juice and dill on it, or with a bbq glaze. But these cups were awful. Though the various flavors offered in the tuna varieties would probably be pleasing to tuna eaters.

I don't know about the mercury in salmon specifically, but when I was at Trader Joe's yesterday, there was a sign above the canned fish that said that ALL fish has at least traces of mercury in it. I'm guessing that would include salmon.

I tried Talapia (sp???) last weekend. I'm a tuna fan but not an overall fish fan and this stuff wasn't bad. A friend made it. She put all kinds of spices and lemon juice on it and cooked it. It was okay but I would have probably enjoyed it more if I was a fish fan.

Orange roughy is good but sheesh... you buy a pound and it cooks down to an ounce.

Not sure if I can bring myself to eat any kind of salmon... blech. I think I would have to not know what I was eating before I could try it.
