    I could go for some tuna & rice, tuna & rice, tuna & rice with some shoyu on the side.

    Or kecap manis on the rice. Aiya, that might be lunch today.

    Why you gotta hate on tuna salad so bad if you are about to eat it?

    I do something like:
    Mayo,scallions,salt,pepper,red pepper flakes,chopped celery,chopped pickles

    Add vinegar to the mayo as well - stops it being so sickly IMO. As mentioned above red onions also go with it nicely. Strictly something to be eaten behind closed doors though as the strongest mint in the world won't combat that combination of odours for the rest of the day.

    I plan on makin a big mix and putting it on a sammich.

    2 for chopped celery.

    Sun dried tomatoes???

    The real question is the binder -

    Sour cream, Mayo, Olive oil, yogurt???

    It's always mystifying why youse guys have to mess around with this shit.

    It's a tuna sarnie. Put the tuna between the bread. Job done.

    Go mad and put butter on the bread.
    Go nuts and mix mayo with the tuna.
    Go berserk and chuck some sweetcorn in.
    Go totally Christian Bale and throw some f*cking diced peppers into the brew.

    Just don't pretend it's a tuna sandwich any more.

    Jesus.

    I've been rocking these oil-based organic marinades I picked up on the cheap in the organic aisle at the supermarket. They were 50% off, which I realized afterward, was because they suck as marinades due to their oil-based nature. They just don't permeate or tenderize the meat at all. They do, however, make for a delicious binder for tuna. I've been rocking a roasted garlic one and a balsamic joint. The roasted garlic is particularly good. Throw some cheese on that shit too. I've been using a creme brie with herbs.

    I LOVE TUNA.
    I just drain the heck out of it, add a teaspoon of mayonnaise, spread it on some nice wheat bread, and then finish off with some tomato and lettuce

    I used to eat at this Cuban sandwich place in Jamaica Plain (that Miami spot on Centre St. for you Boston heads) that would grill their tuna sandwiches like you would a Cubano. It made them so so extra good.

    I dig tuna fish salad. Get the tuna packed in oil. Chopped celery, touch of mayo, barbados hot sauce, ground pepper. Game over.

    Sorry, but the combination of fish and cheese is pretty unappetizing to me, & for some reason I've never been able to stand the combination of tomatoes & fish. It truly disgusts me more than anything else.

    Crazy talk. The tuna melt is easily top ten all time for classic sandwiches. I'll occasionally throw a lil' shaved red onion in there as well.

    Sometimes I replace the celery with apple.

    I'm also known to carry on the elementary school tradition of putting potato chips on top and smashing them down with the bread.


    Unfortunately, I eat way too many subpar tuna sandwiches for lack of better options near my work, and it has kind of killed my affection for tuna.

    Curried mayo


    This is my favorite. I am having curried chicken salad for lunch today. Currents, pecans, mayo, madras curry and chicken. Would probably work with tuna too.

    Adding some madras curry to mayo and using it as a dip for sweet potato fries is where it is at.

    Salmon poached in tomato water is amazing.



    I like to throw some toasted pinenuts, pecans, or walnuts in with my tuna
