Gugny Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Last time I tailgated with him, @plenzmd1 had a "Make Your Own Tuna Sandwich" station instead of his traditional post-game wings. I was a little upset, but it turned out pretty good. I mean, fish, mayo, hot sun ... what could go wrong? In his honor, I wanted to start a thread for canned tuna lovers to unite. So here it is.

Gray Beard Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Mayo, salt, pepper every time. If I’m feeling ambitious and the ingredients are handy, I’ll add some diced onion and sweet pepper. Slices of tomato and a few lettuce leaves go in the sandwich if they’re available. Usually on whole wheat or multigrain bread, because that’s what we use for almost everything. Im not a big fan of tuna melts. I prefer my tuna sandwich not heated up, and tuna with cheese doesn’t do it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Hmm, in a steak or raw on a plate with chopsticks ... I truly think I would rather snuggle for a long night of passionate love making with TB12 than eat canned tuna. Add in a psycho like @Seasons1992 putting Miracle whip in it, and we might just have a cure for the Covid, that would kill every living thing it came in contact with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be a helpful topic. One day just weeks ago (but it seems like years at this point), my wife went to the grocery store BEFORE they opened, because the shelves were mostly empty by the time I got there. She got tuna fish. The small, individual serving cans. Lots of them. A lifetime supply, I’m guessing. I can make it every way suggested here, and still have more tuna in the pantry. I like with celery, for the crunch. A little texture is a good thing, and it you have a “real” tomato to go with it, that’s a great thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely eat canned tuna, but I was a regular for tuna tacos at a local pub (Mehan’s for the locals), and Stoney River is a franchise (not usually my style) but has a very good tuna stack with mango, avocado and a spicy aioli. There’s another tavern with a similar dish. I walk in and they bring an Arnold Palmer and ask “do you even want a menu?” No thanks, I’ll have the usual. Oh....how I miss those days! Soon, I hope!

plenzmd1 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I, like most people of refined taste , would never eat fish out of a can. If I am having a tuna salad, would be a seared tuna steak over a nice base of greens and a vinaigrette! ya do have me in the tartar, fish fry not the same without it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 1 hour ago, Gugny said: Personally, I'm just a mayo, salt-n-pepa guy. Occasionally I'll add diced onions, but usually I just add onion slices to the sandwich. My ex used to make me put relish and celery salt in it. (another reason I'm glad she's gone ... but I digress) Currently having a good covno in the Shoutbox about tuna fish and almost everyone makes it differently. Interested to see other variations. Tuna+mayo+relish+diced onion and celery+black pepper dont @me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowgirlsFan Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 White albacore tuna in water. ( 16 oz.) Chopped onions. Grated hard boiled eggs about 4 Sweet pickle relish. Season with Old Bay. Mix with mayonnaise. Chill several hours. Serve as a protein with other food or as a sandwich. Lately I have used carb friendly tortillas and made wraps included with spinach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradobillsfan Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I keep my cans of tuna/albacore in the fridge. Makes for a nice cold sandwich, just the way I like it. Have you ever crunched down on a glass-like substance in your tuna? I freaked but it turns out it's a completely natural substance called struvite that can form during the canning process. Still turned me off tuna for quite some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I like my tuna fish mixed with mustard (German stone whole grain if I can find else brown or Dijun), chopped Georgia sweet onion, sea salt (unless being served on weck), a little basil sometimes a little relish with sliced Roma tomatoes Swiss (Jarlsberg if available) cheese On on toasted pumpernickel or weck.

I like tuna stroganoff as leftovers for then you fry it in pan with some cooking wine or sherry and some onions. Texture changes which makes it great.

I wouldn't advise using Egg Beaters. The eggs need to be grated fine and I don't think you can do that. I don't know about organic ones either. I use the house brand jumbo ones from Kroger.
