Why are most tins of salmon in a tapered tins... presume its to help getting it out...... but why does salmon need this & most other products dont?

Salmon comes in tapered and straight cans depending on the brand. In a competitive world there are several companies looking for a niche in the market. I know when I last checked, the brand in the tapered can was more expensive. Would have to do some research in the company and probably has something to do in the line and how they handle the processing.

I always wondered about that and the corned beef tins. I can understand the salmon, since it follows the shape of the tail, but corned beef? It's practicaly chopped meat, could fit any shape surely, then why that odd shape that it's a pain to open?

Hmm, this is interesting. I live in BC and we just have regular tins for salmon. I have never seen a tapered tin.

It leaves a small space inside to help get it out of the can. Think about solid jelly cranberry sauce .... have you tried getting it out of the can?
