[boatme99]

You must give me your recipie!

I mentioned this in another thread, but I thought it deservd it's own post.

It's a bit too gross to just put out, here, but you can search bumble bee tuna, Santa Fe Springs, Ca.

If you dare.

I've eaten Bumble Bee tuna, a standard brand. But I seldom make tuna salad. I usually just put the can's contents on a dinner plate and add Italian salad dressing. With two vegetables, it's a quick meal.

My favorite tuna salad was made by my mother and another very similar version made by a girlfriend who'd pick me up when I got off work at the library when I was in college.

Both versions used black olives, sliced green grapes and boiled eggs. Mother added chopped celery, too. If one has the time, that's the way to make good tuna salad.

I prefer it on whole wheat bread, or on dark rye. And if I have deviled eggs on the side, that's even better.

It goes down very well with Welch's dark grape juice, but the more daring may prefer a full-flavored beer like Grolsch or Michelob.

Dang: now, I'm hungry!

Used to get fantastic tuna hoagies back East...A little mayo,tomato,pickle and hot peppers on a freshly baked hoagie roll.

Next thing you know some jackwad decides that tuna in water is healthier for us.That's like grilling a ribeye to perfection but rinsing it in the sink before eating it.

Onion, celery, and mayo.
Would add sweet relish if I had any.
Had it for lunch yesterday.
Would add a boiled egg if I was having company and making a lot.

Tuna, mayo, spicy brown mustard, minced onion, diced kosher dill pickle, black pepper. Served on lightly toasted rye bread with a slice of cheddar cheese. If nice fresh tomatoes are available a slice of tomato is good on the sandwich, too. Glass of ice cold milk completes the meal.

I put in chopped up green olives as well.
IMO: The canned tuna we get now days is far lower in quality then what they used to package years ago. Back then you'd actually have to break it up as it was canned as one firm chunk. Now it just sort of a squishy mass

GOOD RECIPE. Try adding a tablespoon or two of bleu cheese salad dressing. Yum, Yum!

Safeway stores (they're called Tom Thumb in Dallas) have their store brand of Skipjack tuna for $1.09 a can. It's excellent. And cheaper than Chicken of the Sea, Star Kist, and other name brands.

I avoid Albacore, which supposedly secretes more mercury than other tuna species.

My! What is in this tuna salad?

Mercury.

I always liked Progresso dark tuna, cant find any local markets that carryit. Don't like water packed.

I love tuna sushi and buy it often both in restaurants and at home. I love tuna steaks and again do them on the grill or in a skillet and will definitely order it out. Tuna in a can MUST be in oil. My wife likes it with chunked carrots and celery (sadly not diced small). I like it with dill relish.

For me a great lunch is a grilled tuna salad and cheddar cheese on white bread and a bowl of tomato soup. A great appetizer is tuna sushi with ginger and wasabi/soy mix over sushi rice. And a great dinner is a blackened rare tuna steak over a romaine salad with croutons, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, feta cheese, slices of mandarine orange, nectarines or raspberries and a peppercorn dressing.

What is the percentage of rat poop that the feds consider acceptable in tuna these days?

Probably the same as Campbell's soup, canned peaches and condensed milk.

When we were kids, if times were tight & we didn't spend the money for old liver to be used as bait, at the butchershop/grocery store we always used the innards of the first fish(bluegill/cat fish, mud cat/rock bass )caught as bait.......then progressed to using the rest as the day went on...........now they call it sushi & charge big money for it....to each his own I guess.

but on that tuna salad recipe, all you guys forgot to add crushed saltine crackers & miracle whip......have none of you any couth?

 

[chaparrito]

Sushi. I gave up eating raw fish as a young chef's apprentice whose task it was to pull out the big worms from the flesh of whole swordfish before cutting it into steaks. Needle nose pliers if you gotta know. I'll have my parasites grilled well done thanks.

Chunk light tuna in oil. Mayo and a splash of good apple cider vinegar. Diced celery and red onion, chopped pitted Kalamata olives. Scooped onto a crisp Romaine leaf as I don't do bread very often.

Worker Cooked to Death at Tuna Plant in Santa Fe Springs | NBC 7 San Diego
Reminds me of a story I heard when I worked at the RubberMaid factory.
The 500 ton plastic molding machine failed to drop a wringer component. Rather than contact a cell tech who would've de-energized the machine and locked and tagged it out, a worker who was assigned to assemble the wringers crawled under the safety gate and cleared the machine. In doing so he bypassed all the safety interlocks. The machine saw that it was clear and restarted.
500 tons vs the human body.
He was crushed to death. It was described as a human juicer.
