Can you freeze tinned tuna?

I freeze it all the time, once I've incorporated it into a dish. Freezing it "solo" shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't freeze it in the partially used tin though.

Oh i would never store it in the tin, even if i keep it in the fridge, it has to go into a bowl lol, something my mother always told me.

Same with all tinned food.

Thanks though, i'll put it in a freezer bag and make sure i use it asap

j.e.j.

Hmm, I've never frozen it, but fish often freezes well..?
Sainsburys do a 3-pack of nice small-size tins of tuna, which might be better for eating just one portion at a time.

It'll be OK in the fridge for 2/3 days - could you not use it in this time?

I don't see why not I usually buy a large tin og corned beef and as I live alone its too much so I always after I have 'de-tinned' it cut in two and wrap in clingfilm and freeze this way I don't waste anything .I freeze almost anything that I can if possible .Those little tins of corned beef are almost as dear as a big one .About the only thing I think I haven't frozen is lettuce or bananas but its only because there is no point as it gets eaten up

Thanks for the question OP. Something I have never thought of doing, although I freeze everything else except lettuce!!

yes - you can freeze tuna. either as it comes out of the can or incorporated in other dishes!

I wouldnt freeze lettuce or cucumber - they just get black and soggy!
