Tuna sandwich

Old Bay seasoning is basically celery salt with the red spices. Salt, pepper, and celery chopped as fine as you like will do when there is no Old Bay, but saving the labor of chopping celery was well worth, for me, the low cost of Old Bay. One can will last you a year, unless you do a boil or something.

I preferred the albacore to the chunk light, back in the heavy tuna-eating days, but most often ate the cheapest chunk light because it was so economical. Then when the wife got pregnant, I found out how much mercury is in the large fishes (like albacore), and switched to all chunk light every time. I never observed any significant difference among all the various brands, so I always buy the cheapest bobo brand and love it every time.

Man, I could write a dissertation on the tuna sandwich. Actually, I did (and just did), I think.

Tuna sandwich

Interesting idea. The only time I have Old Bay is with my crab. Not sure how it would work with tuna though.

That tomato is the shape of a heart. Did you think to share this sandwich with a lover?

Meditteranian Olives go great with tuna, though removing the pits is a PITA.

I have removed the stones from superior German cherries as a young lass with only a butter knife. As an adult male I make the best advance of German engineering with this device which works also on olives:

The link will explain that this tuna is troll-caught. It makes all the difference.

Now you know what the SF trolls do when they are not baiting forum members!

I don't like cooked tuna. I do like it as sushi.

I almost exclusivley enjoy a tuna melt.

I like StarKist white albacore in water mixed with Best Foods mayonaise. Two good slices of sourdough bread, with mayonaise spread lightly on each side and cheddar cheese melted on a griddle at 400 degrees makes for a wonderful sandwich in my opinion. Some may say this is rather plain without including tomatoes or celery, but its the way I personally prefer.

edit: I just read through the entire thread and realized my sandwich is pretty bland in comparison... oh well, perhaps I need to cultivate my tates and become more adventurous!

So I got home tonight from the bar and went for another tuna sandwich. I added chopped onions and capers, grain mustard, and soy sauce. It tasted awesome. I think this is my tuna sandwich recipe from now.

Thanks, I knew I'd get something useful from you bunch.

The tuna melt is one of my favorite lunch dishes. Simple, delicious and easy to make. While I love tuna salad, it does not beat a good chicken salad. I recommend the chicken salad sandwich available at the Bergdorf Goodman cafe. I'd probably pay $100 to have one right this very minute.

A chicken sandwich means you actually have to cook up the chicken. Too much work for a quickie sandwich.

You can get cooked canned chicken.

I used to make a lot of tuna sandwiches but I've gotten lazier and often just eat the tuna with a fork. A little s & p and some dill relish mixed in and I'm good. I also just tried it the other day with some vinaigrette and that was tasty. Would be good in a sub type sandwich, very lean.

in lieu of mayo, i have shifted to putting in extra virgin olive oil along with capers, sea salt, cracked pepper, chopped onions and some garlic. Also, I tried using other 'fillers' and thin apple slices and sliced avocado goes very well with tuna sandwich too.
