Hi guys,
I want to save some money and up my protein intake. I want to buy large cans of chunk light tuna from costco (the really big ones!). They're only $8 for a lot of protein. My question is can I open the can and put the tuna in freezer bags then freeze them in the freezer, then when it's time to eat, I want to throw tuna in the microwave to defrost & heat and there I have a ready-to-eat meal with some olive oil and bread. Can I do this? Will tuna taste bad if microwaved? How long should I microwave it for?
See image of tuna can below...

Can you freeze canned tuna and microwave later?

Yeah, I usually put them on a stick, freeze them, and then eat them like ice cream.

I highly suggest not microwaving any cans. If you fail to heed this warning may God have mercy on your soul.

Like I said, I put the tuna on a stick, freeze it like a popsicle and then eat it. Tuna-flavored ice cream, you won't see that in a Ben & Jerry's scoop shop.Originally Posted by zakhan

the smell alone would be repulsive being heated not to mention the mercury issues if consumed frequently though the chunk light is lower than solid white
you want Hot Tuna? Theres a rock band called that based off Jefferson Airplane

Obviously I was kidding, but why the hell would you put tuna in the freezer if it stays good in the can for years?!
