nothing if i can help it. tuna i still like but
more as sashimi than anything else.

tuna, noodles, mushrooms, fried onions, green peas
is ok, cheese on top with crushed tater chips.

used to eat tuna an ramen noodles with hot sauce
and frozen veggies added at the last to cool it off
quickly enough to eat ASAP as cheap meal.

having eaten way too many cans of it i just don't
put it on the top of my list any more. that and it
has gotten very expensive.

i'm trying to eat more veggies and beans the past
several years.

I make a white sauce, add some cheese, a handful of frozen peas and the
tuna, mix it with cooked noodles, and bake it with crumbs on top. I haven't
made it for a very long time but dh does like it a lot.

I like that too but haven't made it in years. Hmmmmm....

The other night, I needed a snack and nothing handy sounded good
so I whipped up a couple of tuna sandwiches right quick. Drained
can of tuna in water, some chopped fresh onion, mayo and a small
amount of mustard. This was a quickie snack and did the job. I
often put more ingredients into the mix, like bit of horseradish,
a mashed boiled egg, bit of minced apple.

Good too on lightly toasted bread and topped with crunchy
lettuce.

If it's good tuna, meaning line caught tuna in olive oil, I can eat it right out of the can with a cracker. Cento is one of the better brands.

I don't buy Chicken of the Sea or any of those cheap tunas. They are not sustainably caught and are nothing but flakes and water.

Good canned tuna is not cheap, but it's so far beyond what most people think of canned tuna its mind blowing.

It hardly matters. I buy Chicken of the Sea in a pouch. All I'm going to
do with it is mash it up and mix it with a bunch of mayo, onions, celery,
and green olives, then spread it on bread.

Donate it to a food bank or an animal rescue facility.

If I didn't abhor canned tuna, I'd probably make tuna noodle casserole or a
tuna melt. But, I can't stand the smell, much less the taste; so, donation
is the route for me. 8-(

I won't argue with that I don't like it either.

I sort of gag when I think of tuna casseroles I had many years ago. I

I like tuna salad. I often make up a batch and have it in sandwiches.
When I was a kid we often had cold salad plates for supper on hot summer
nights. Typically it involved tuna or salmon salad, some cottage cheese
with fruit on top, pickles, cold cuts and and bowl of vinegar with
slices of cucumber in it.

Why? What would you buy instead, and how would you use it?

I don't know about how things are in the UK, but the state of can tuna in the US is dismal. Mostly, what greets you when you open up a can is murky water with tuna debris floating on top like the wooden splinters of a galleon sunk by cannon fire. It's not a pretty sight. What lies beneath is not much better either. It's a gooey mush that resembles the by-products of cat food production.

OTOH, I had a tuna fish sandwich at a restaurant recently. It was pretty good because I have not had one of those in a while.

I wonder if Americans call a pork sandwich a pork mammal sandwich.

What kind of tuna are you buying?? I buy albacore packed in water and it's
definitely not dismal. Makes a darn good bowl of tuna salad for sandwiches..

Drained tuna
finely diced shallot
chopped celery
celery seed
chopped boiled eggs
sweet pickle relish
mayo

I don't care for albacore so I've been getting just regular tuna fish. Albacore might be a better product but I don't care for the taste. I bought some cans of tuna from Costco which are probably better than the stuff you get in supermarkets in that it's sold in 7 oz cans and is more like the old stuff rather than the new cat-food mush.

I shall go home and try to use it up. I'm not supposed to eat carbs so maybe the tuna can be rolled up in some lettuces.

Drained tuna

======

I buy albacore tuna packed in oil, drain it, then I stir in a bit of
softened butter, some diced onion, chopped celery, chopped olives, and dill
relish, salt, pepper, a few hot pepper flakes, add mayo and let firm in
fridge for a couple of hours before using.

that's three more replies than i expected so

i'm off to have a bowl of veggie soup (with
a little beef in it but not much) for dinner.

homemade soup, fresh bread, real butter.

just doesn't get much better than that...

Nothing. I only like in the pouch. The only things I do with tuna are tuna

I consider canned salmon to be fit only for cat food.

You can make good fried salmon patties from it. They're almost as good
as fried mackerel patties. Don't make me link Aunt Fie.

I won't make you link Aunt Fie. I don't eat fish patties.

I'll take my salmon grilled to medium rare. Although tonight I'll probably
eat it raw.

Canned sockeye salmon is damn good, and comparatively expensive. I can grab a can
out of the cupboard, get a fork, and eat it straight up out of the can, bones and all..gotta
have pepper on it, though. ;-))

(To my credit, I also like beets (not the greens, though) fixed any old which way except raw.)

I think the last time I bought a can of salmon was about 20 years ago or
so. One look and it was all over with for me. I couldnt eat it. That
said, I will occasionally buy the boneless pouch salmon for things like
salmon patties where whole chunks dont work well. Its not nearly as
revolting.

Finally! Someone thinks that other than me!~ That canned salmon
with the cooked bones in is the trashiest fish I've ever tried.

First (and last) time I ate canned salmon, it was pink salmon. I
freaked when I discovered that they didn't even remove the
bones....just cooked it all so they were soft. KISS MY ASS! No
thanks.

I wrote here about that and all responses were like, "What's
wrong with you, I enjoy the bones." Nonsense like that. I didn't
eat it and neither would my cat.

I did buy a small can (tuna fish size) of boneless salmon a few
years ago but it's still in my pantry.

Fresh salmon steak I had once and it was delicious.

That's what I've planned to do with my small can of boneless but
it's still in the pantry waiting for that day.

Canned salmon with cooked and softened bones? Not even fit for
human use, imo. Remember, even my seafood loving cat wouldn't eat
it.

softened bones in your salmon.... so damned nasty.
I've had sockeye salmon fresh. Good tasting and no bones.

But it has been posted here that the bones are soft and disintegrate
easily. Just a sight press with the bottom of a fork and they are mushed.

Your cat would likely relish the salmon bones.

I'm not a huge fan of canned salmon, but my dog is and it's always around
for her. Also, dh does like the salmon patties which I do make occasionally.
