Canned Tuna is a small sealed tin of fish that keeps without spoiling. It packs a lot of energy into a can that weighs only 0.3. That makes it a strong food to carry on a long trip. It opens with a Can Opener.

Once opened, the can becomes Canned Tuna (Open). The fish can be eaten as it is or added to stews, stir fries, rice dishes, burritos, tacos, sandwiches and omelettes. Canned Tuna is a common find on store shelves and in house kitchens.

Eating

The tuna is eaten once the can is open. The opened can lowers hunger by 18 and holds 370 calories. It carries 15 grams of protein and 34 grams of fat. That is a lot of energy for such a light can, which helps keep body weight up.

The tuna is good hot, so heating it before eating gives a small mood lift. Canned Sardines (Open) weighs the same 0.3 but lowers hunger by 14 and holds 150 calories. Most other canned meals weigh 0.8. Canned Chili (Open) lowers hunger by 16 and holds 260 calories.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage

A sealed can of tuna keeps without spoiling, so it suits a long term food store. Once opened, the fish stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The best plan is to open a can only when it will be eaten or cooked right away.

Locations

Canned Tuna is a common find. The shelves at Gigamart, grocery stores and general stores carry it about a quarter of the time. Survivor food caches and house kitchens hold it fairly often. Survivor crates, counters and cupboards in kitchens and living rooms turn up a can now and then. Other grocery containers, hoarder kitchens and survivor safehouses hold it less often, and cafeteria kitchens only rarely.
