I would substitute it with canned white chicken. ( I don't eat fish/seafood). I would put chicken, mayo and dill relish on bread.

We do not. No one in our family liked tuna fish.

[brewhaha]

Mayo, pickled onion or pickled radish.

Tuna made with mayo (not miracle whip), mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, hard boiled eggs and relish on a croissant with sliced tomatoes...now I need to make trip to my local sandwich shop for lunch, lol

My favorite tuna sandwich consists of two toasted pieces of wheat bread, pepper jack cheese, spicy guacamole spread, 3 slices of a roma tomato and tuna salad. I mix my tuna salad with cottage cheese, hot sauce, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Seriously, that's a huge sandwich! How do you get your mouth around it without it all over you?

I prefer, simple, smaller sandwiches. Water based albacore, lemon juice, Best Food mayo, a dab of Grey Poupon mustard, grated carrot, celery, onion, chopped pickle, & sometimes I'll chop up a hard boiled egg. Great bread! That's the key to great sandwiches. Freshly made & from the bakery!

I go to my fav restaurant, Fisherman's and get their tuna fish salad....big dollup of fresh tuna with real mayo on a big bed of green leaf lettuce with hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomato, capers.....it is to die for....

I always use real mayo and sweet pickle relish. I used to love onions mixed in, but not anymore. Garlic/onions upset my tummy these days.

While I do find mayonnaise to be profoundly repugnant (there aren't even words for HOW gross it is to me), this is the one way I'll use it. Of course, there are rules -

I'm pretty food-neurotic (for some pretty good reasons) and I'll only eat a tuna sandwich if I make it. I won't eat it if anybody else makes it.

I use only Best Foods brand (it's Hellman's in the east) and I buy the smallest possible jar. I think there is one that is 16oz. This is because I end up throwing the rest away. I don't even want it in my view. Everything about it grosses me out.

So, I use white albacore packed in water (Kirkland brand is THE best canned tuna) and enough of the (gag) mayo to make it wet-ish, but not too much. I also add green onions, celery seed, and s&p. That's it. Whole grain type bread, nice and fresh.

Sometimes I will add lettuce and sliced tomato.

I don't even know why I can eat this, and sometimes even crave it, because of the depth to which I abhor everything about mayonnaise. But, hey, nobody ever said I wasn't weird.

My only question is - Why do some people call it tuna-fish?

I mean, I get that it is tuna and tuna is a fish. But I never hear halibut fish or salmon fish. It's just tuna (or halibut or salmon, etc). Why tuna-fish?

[this is my nic]

I absolutely can't stand canned tuna, so I don't make anything with it.
