I think it depends on what kind of vegetable oil is used. They don't always specify. Olive oil would be best (but quite expensive) based on current thinking in the good cholestorol/bad cholesterol discussion.
A lot of people seem to assume salt water is best for preserving the taste, quality and 'healthiness' of food, but the salt may be a whole new problem in itself.

Yes. There are people here, however, who will jump all over me and you for doing so. One person copies this big chunk of text from a book - and doesn't get it correctly copied, it has typos in it - that says that the vegetable oil in tuna is bad for cats, they can't metabolize it. Since there is no vegetable oil in tuna, I asked her if she was talking about the vegetable oil that tuna can be packed in. Her reply - "Sorry, copied it from a book" Which I took to mean she didn't really understand what she was quoting. I found the book on line and read the section she was posting and found that the author also does not explain where the vegetable oil to which they are objecting is coming from. So, if the person who wrote the book is correct about cat's not being able to metabolize vegetable oil - but I have no reason to believe that is true - would not getting tuna packed in water set aside those concerns? Don't know, the author simply says "Tuna is bad!" The person who posted the stuff from the book couldn't tell me either SO --- my stance on human tuna is: We never by it packed in oil, we only buy it packed in water. When I open a can or tuna - usually it is two cans or one large can - all of the cats that are awake enough to hear the can opener show up in the kitchen. I will squeeze all of the "juice" out of the cat and spread it amongst a few bowls, put a tiny bit of tuna in each bowl and let them have at it. They don't get much and they don't get it very often but they seem to appreciate it. There is never any left.

Tuna in water has less fat and calories, so if you're mindful of that then you'll want to stay away from tuna packed in oil. You also want to limit your intake of tuna, even canned, because it does contain a bit of mercury.

I don't know, but if you like tuna in oil try to fry it at least for 5 or 10 minutes ( should be more healthy ). And it should taste better. You can add some lemon too.
Thank you.

In water for sure! But, have you ever tried the tuna in a pouch? Ever since I bought my first one, I can't eat the kind from a can anymore. No draining & no tin taste. BUT, the pouch's are much more expensive...$1.50.

it's better to eat it out of water. Because you can't drain off all the oil . So you are just adding to your fat content.
