The supermarket shelves are full of tins of tuna in many different types of oil.

Can anyone tell where I can purchase tin tuna in brine (water)?

or perhaps what it is called in Korean so I can ask some supermarket staff?

I don't know if you are interested, but I found tuna in water, but it isn't in a can. Its with the cans, but its actually a packet and I think its excellent. I was surprised at how much I liked it. its a green package and its in english, so you should have no problem finding it.

참치 (chum chi) is tuna in korean

Along with the single packets of tuna in the supermarkets, Costco also has tuna with water in cans. It is a little more expensive, but for me it is worth it.

You can find it at Costco or E-mart.

Let me tell you a story about canned fish (mackerel). I ate 2 pounds of canned fish a day for an entire year because of the omega 3 thing just to see if it does some good...... The mercury level in my body was so high that I almost died. My mind was going in circles and in my sleep my arms would scratch until they bleed. I would wake up 6 times a night scratching and the mercury would just fuel it worse every day. I had no idea it was the mercury until I was so messed up with about half of my entire body in scabs, unbelievably itchy all day and all night. It took 3 months of suffering and tying my arms to my bed to stop the whole thing and wait until the mercury was gone. Now do you want tuna?
