Smells Like Fish, Tastes Like Chicken

K_Serz

One food I have been eating to help meet my protein macro goal is canned chicken. Has anyone else noticed that when they open and drain the can it smells almost exactly like a can of tuna? Whats up with that? Does anyone know why?

I know what else smells like fish and tastes like chicken.............chicken wrapped in fish!

I still can't get my head round canned chicken :noway: And your post is really not selling it to me either :laugh:

its the packaging process/ preservative process

If I could get over the tuna smell, I'd use canned chicken a lot more, but I can't. I am not a huge fan of tuna and really don't like the smell. I only use canned chicken in recipes that would flavor the chicken so you can't taste the fishy-ness, like enchiladas or buffalo chicken dip.

I have never bought canned chicken, and now I never will. :laugh:

For seriousness sake, yes. And I don't like it.
I like the ease of canned chicken, though the whole concept is quite disturbing, I still eat it.
I like it best when I completely cover up the smell with tons of hot sauce and spices.

Yeah, I've noticed. And so did my cats. They love it whenever I open up a can of chicken.
