Tuna packed in olive oil (usually from Italy) is a wonderful & delicious taste sensation.

I’ve always used celery, onion, Hellman’s and a bit of relish.  Will have to try hardboiled egg.

off topic - but did you ever have old bay on corn on the cob.  Tried it this summer on buttered corn.  Delicious!

@lynnie61   My favorite way to use Old Bay is in my Bloody Mary's, but I can imagine it's delicious on corn on the cob and can't imagine why I never thought to try that.  I'm looking forward to having that sometime!

Good idea for using it on corn.

Most if not all recipes for a  traditional  East Coast or Southern-style crab/shrimp boil call for loading up the cooking water with Old Bay seasoning (or similar blends).

These boiled concoctions usually contain chunks of corn on the cob, among other ingredients.   It can be used for all types of seafood, plus poultry, salads and meats, according to the label.

Its 18 herbs and spices include celery salt, celery seed, red pepper and paprika.  "Same great taste for over 75 years."

A squirt of lemon juice,dill and sweet relish and of course, hard cooked eggs.

Don't forget the mayo.

I just remembered I used to use a good squirt of Boars Head creamy horseradish with my tuna salad.

Also .........  if you haven't already done so, instead of spreading butter on your corn on the cob, try cream cheese.  It melts and you have Creamed Corn on the Cob.  Yum!

At home my Mom always bought the albacore. But once I read it has more mercury I buy tuna in water.

I put the tuna, hard boiled egg, chopped celery, mayo. Tastes best when chilled. It always is yummy.

@alliswell @Sooner @Citrine1 ...What is the brand that you buy and is it available in most grocery stores?

@MyShadowLove We buy Calipo, Santo Amaro, and Tonnino.  We have tuna once a week or so, and order from Amazon.

@MyShadowLove   I buy Italy Brand American Yellowfin tuna in olive oil.  I get it in a little Italian specialty shop/deli and haven't found it in my supermarket.  

I also buy Cento, thinking it was Italian tuna and guess what?  I just looked on line and found out that it comes from Asia!  My fault for making assumptions.  In that brand I buy the chunk light in olive oil.  You can find this brand in any supermarket.

I have to warn you, though.  I like a fishy, oily tuna.  Most people don't, so this product may not be for you if you prefer a mild white albacore.  Out of the two I mentioned, Cento is my favorite.
