I made tuna salad for lunch - but I'm convinced it wasn't tuna.

The after taste is VERY different than tuna, even though it was the same can/brand of tuna I always buy. Has a very shellfish flavor, though I can't say what kind. Blech!

Has this ever happened to you?

I thought it was kinda bland as I ate it that night and didn't notice that the key ingredient was missing till I finished my plate.

it gets mislabeled a lot, so I hope it wasn't some kind of indigestible variety of fish that will give me GI distress later. I ate it at lunch and I'm fine, so far, so I guess it was okay, but it really lingered, the aftertaste.
