John West and Princes contain so much liquid, that you end up with little more than 50% in weight of tuna. Whereas Lidl's tuna contain a lot more tuna and a lot less liquid and they are often comparably i.e. weight for weight of tuna, cheaper than JW & Princes.

No matter how cheap I won't buy John West. Many supermarkets have accepted public pressure and no longer stock it. I believe that Sainsbury still do. Shame.
Bottom of the list for sustainable fishing.
98per cent of the tuna sold under the famous name is caught using destructive fishing methods that cause damage and waste.
It is cheap for a reason.
Cold.

Where did you get this information from about the 98 percent? Can you post a link? I'm always interested in finding out a bit more about what I eat.

Cheaper at Waitrose with PYO. 2 four packs cost £4 after PYO (£6 without).
