remove water, add olive oil, eat.

>>19685646
i usually throw it in a blow of sloppa with scrambled eggs, avocado, a tin of deenz, grated cheese and hot sauce.

Tuna salad sandwiches are the only acceptable use for canned tuna. If you happen to be dating a Midwestern girl, tuna casserole gets a pass.

>>19685646
mmmm mercury and heavy metals
yum

Tuna spicy with raw onions, peppers, celery finely diced. Add a bit of chilli and oil. Sandwich filler or with crackers.

>>19685668

This sounds absolutely vile. I enjoy all the above ingredients, but together sounds horrible.

Sprinkle some dill and squirt some lemon in there too. A quick and dirty low-cal stomach filler. This is pretty much all I've used canned tuna for.

May I hijack your thread for a quick question?
Thanks.
So I recently opened a tin of canned salmon. I got it free from Safeway during lent and decided to just open it yesterday. It's one of the tall SOBs.
Anyway, I tastes like ass and has bones and skin in it. I was gonna use it last night to make salmon mayo salad to put on a roll for today's lunch but the flavour is just not my thing which is weird since I fucking love fish.
wtf do people use this shit for?

>>19685646

>open can
>drain water
>add lemon and salt

simple

>>19685646
My favorite way, and also my favorite post lifting food:
>One can of tuna
>About 200gs of cottage cheese
This is delicious in itself, and gives you a shitload of protein in not very much food. You can also modify it by adding other stuff, I used to put chick peaks in for a while but eventually found that to be too much. My favorite is chopping some pickled jalapeno and putting in the mix.

>>19685660
>tuna and deenz in the same meal

one can tuna, one egg, bread crumbs? panko?
form into patties, fry on skillet until crust forms, flip,
i like it

>>19685993
>>19685646
Oh, and as for things to do with tinned tuna:
I'm from Italy originally so I only buy the stuff in oil so if you use the stuff in water, ymmv.

Aglio e olio con tonno e peperoncino.
Spaghetti with tuna, garlic and chili in olive oil.
Everything is fried together, finished with fresh parsley and tossed with fresh cooked spaghetti then served topped with parmigiano.

American tuna salad.
Kind of what I was going for with my salmon. Just tuna, mayonnaise, onion, celery and whatever additional veg you like. People here screamed me down when I mentioned that I am carrot or green bell pepper to it. I use the drained oil to make roux for fishball curry

Tuna noodle casserole.
Some years ago, I posted a thread of me, an euro, making this classic dish with no knowledge of how it's actually of together. Mine was based on an onion-y bechamel built on the oil from tinned tuna + butter, flavoured with fish stock cube, tossed over parcooked American egg noodles, crumbled tuna, frozen peas and, iirc, a bit of cheese, topped with cracker crumbs and baked until bubbly and the noodles were finished through.

Insalata di tonno, pasta e limone.
Lemon tuna pasta salad.
The oil from the tuna plus additional olive oil as necessary is used to make a lemon "vinaigrette" (citronette?) with lemon juice and prepared mustard and tossed with tuna, red onion, peas and freshly cooked and drained, still warm pasta and allowed to cool. Also sweet parsley and lemon zest.

Tuna and picked mustard.
I learnt this from a Thai roommate I had. Buy a package of Asian picked mustard greens, chop it and sautee (in tuna oil) with garlic and chili. And fish, soy and oyster sauces, toss to mix, add tuna, toss to mix and serve with rice and fried egg.

Tuna brik.
Algerian cleaning lady made this for me a few times. Tuna, egg, grated cheese and onion stuffed into warka or phylo pastry triangles. Similar to spanakopita.

Niçoise.
It's Nicoise. Doesn't need explanation.

>>19686059
finally a good post on this board

>>19686059
Vitello o agnello tonnato.
Tuna'd veal or lamb.
Boneless veal or lamb is cooked "baker's style" (meaning you get the oven blisteringly hot, roast it briefly then off the heat and let it finish as the oven cools) then slice and toss with a sauce made of tuna and mayonnaise and capers all blitzed together. Served cold/room temp as a summer dish.

Pizza al tonno.
Regular ass pizza with topping of tinned tuna and red onion.

Coronation tuna.
Like chicken. But tuna.

Tuna jacket potatoes.
No explanation necessary.

That's all I got right now. Any help with >>19685993?

>>19686074
Thanks, fren : )

>>19686059
Noticed a few typos

>I am carrot or green bell pepper
I am not these things. I add these things.

>no knowledge of how it's actually of together
How it's PUT together.

>picked mustard.
PICKLED mustard.

>>19686087
>>I am carrot or green bell pepper
>I am not these things. I add these things.
are you sure you aren't? be honest

>>19685657
Canned tuna in water is superior to canned tuna in olive oil. Making a meal out of canned tuna in water is superior than eating it with oil

>>19685646
chop carrots, celery, onions, pickles and hot peppers.
add mayo (not as much as you think)
salt + pepper
put on toast, crackers, lettuce cups etc.

>>19686075
I'm going to use that sort of salmon to make patties this weekend. I've used it in quiches as well.

>>19686111
debate this guy>>19685731

>>19685646
tuna and mayo jaffle with cheese is nice, with lemon and cracked pepper or corn and mayo is very nice. in a protein pasta with peas for an uber fast meal

>>19686093
It's both. I am a green bell pepper/carrot hybrid and I eat them. I am a cannibal vegetable. A vegeannibal or cannibtable, if you will.

>>19686117
Yeah? I find the taste delicate and unpleasant, like fish-textured, vaguely fishy nothing. This will certainly be the last time I get it, in any case. I've got another tin to use.

I accidentally bought a can of “garlic tuna” once, picrel. No sir, I do not like it.

>>19685993
You can make a pretty good sandwich if you toss it in a pan and heat with some ketchup and soy sauce.

>>19686126
looks like something a nigerian housewife would make

>>19686240
i get that reference, but its actually quite popular in Australia (although i havent owned a jaffle maker in a hot minute

>>19685646
tuna, onion, oats, egg, sour cream. sear patty in pan and top with whatever sauce, I usually did mustard

>>19686438
is this brap fuel or what

>>19685646
straight out of the can with a bit of salt and pepper. when i was in college i would eat like 12 cans of tuna per week for 2 years because they were dirt cheap. no heavy metal poisoning yet, i don't think.

i love canned tuna but it's too expensive here for me. i can buy a kilograms of chicken breast for the price of 3 small cans. how the hell is it considered cheap everywhere?

>>19686580
Low-qual tuna can be had for about $3/lb in Ameriland (89c/140g can) which isn't terribly low compared to chicken breast being ridiculously cheap ($1.79/lb).
Of course, there are gonna be people who will shout me down about the price of chickie titties being more like $5/lb but those people are just very, very stupid and don't rotate or adjust their diets according to what's cheap, when. For example, right now, spaghetti squash is 39c/lb. It's usually $1/lb. So I'm stocking up while I can because I'm not stupid and my family like spaghetti squash.
I stocked up on a lot of beef in July and last week, $2/lb, marked down as a loss leader to draw in customers for Independence and Labo[u]r days. That particular cut, top round, is usually double that or more.

mix into mac n'cheese wala

>>19686795
tuna has omega 3 tho so its gooder for you

>>19686843
idk wtf that is lol

>>19686849
you know how there's sigma male? omega male wears watches and goes to the moon

>>19685646
only in oil, I don't like that one in watery sauce
on bread/roll, salt, pepper, sometimes bit of ketchup (pls don't judge)

>>19686869
do you squeeze the water out fully? thats how we were taught to do it at Subway before mixing in the mayo

>>19686860
>you know how there's sigma male
Nope.

>>19685935
but it heals 22 hp

I've eaten it on salads before. It wasn't great, but you cover it up with dressing.

tuna casserole

kraft mac + tuna

tuna cakes (like a crab cake except you use canned tuna). they're ok, but taste like the can.

>>19685993
Canned salmon isn't salmon. It's "pink salmon" or chum salmon, which is a salmonid but is not the same thing as the filets you buy at the grocery store.

>>19685646
mayo + sliced red onion + sliced pickles + fritos chips

you'll thank me later

>>19685646
Tuna white bean salad.

>>19687334
That's fine, but the salmon in the pouches and smaller tins tastes fine. This large tin, howevers, tastes like poopshits.

>>19685646
mix mayo, honey, garlic, mustard, salt, worcestershire, lemon juice and whatever spices you want and put it on a sandwich. yum

>>19686795
i always thought it was cheaper in america cause whenever someone ask for poorfag recipes everyone mentions canned tuna and sardines. i agree on buying whatever is on sale or in season, i basically live off sales

I mainly use it for salads (tomatoes/grated carrots/cold rice/pasta/shallots/corn/lettuce/hard boiled eggs/cheese (e.g. feta)/olives/mayo/salad dressing/etc. delete as appropriate)

A dip/spread by mixing it with cream cheese, finely minced shallots and a dash of Tabasco

A savory tart with tomato and mustard

Otherwise, see >>19686059

I'm from Tunisia, a small north African cunt. We're obsessed with canned tuna. We put it in everything.
Pic related is fried brad with mashed potatoes,eggs, canned tuna , harissa and an olive.

>>19688172

>>19685646
my cat gets until fancy feast except when ford is in town

Straight out of the can.

>>19685646
I barely eat tuna if at all these days because I have access to food that I like more like different cuts of beef and salmon, also its too messy, smelly and oily to deal with canned tuna and prepare it with the stuff that I like and its just not worth it for me, but ideally regardless of calories and everything else, pure taste only, probably tuna on pizza, tuna in a cheese toast with ketchup, in some kind of salad with avocado, boiled eggs and mayo, maybe cooked with some scrambled eggs

>>19685731
This is hands down the best canned tuna you can find
The Genova brand Yellowfin in evoo is a close 2nd
I've been eating 4 cans a week for the last 3 years and still no super powers

>>19685668
don't forget the micro plastics and parasites!!

>>19689884
>This is hands down the best canned tuna you can find

Oh, you sweet, precious child.

>>19689951

I can have a liter of cola!!

>>19690323
Can't beat that deal. Get on that shit, faggot.

>>19685993
Salmon cakes, used to make in college, tall can of salmon with Star of David on them, some egg, onion, spices, breadcrumbs, pan fry on medium, serve with baked potato and broccoli

>make a box of penne noodles
>drain
>stir in a chunk of butter, 2 cans of tuna in oil, 2 handfuls of peas, a bunch of italian seasoning, and salt

voila, you have now created the poverty-spec version of tuna casserole, "tuna and noodles".

>>19690399
pasta
noodles have egg

>>19685646
mayonaise + pickle relish. you can do whatever ratios you want. 1:1 1:2 ect for mayo/relish.

'real' salmon are large, aggressive predators that can be over a hundred pounds in size and feed on other fish. This gives their flesh a delicious flavor. Pink salmon on the other hand are the tiny betas of the salmon family, reaching about 5 pounds in size and have a diet consisting of plankton and other untastey things. As a result, they taste terrible, which is why they usually end up canned.

>>19685716
donating blood regularly is honestly one of the most important things you can possibly do for your health up there with diet and exercise.

>>19690399
>NO NO NO NOT THE PEAS

>>19685646
Tuna salad sandwiches. Mayo, chopped raw onion and celery, lots of black pepper, some garlic too. The real trick is the pickles and apple mixed in, enough for a chunk in every bite. God damn is it good on toasted bread. A slice of tomato on top as well if thats your fancy.

>>19685663
You are correct with one addendum: tuna salad melts.

>>19685646
>open can
>sprinkle salt and pep
>consume with phork
this shit is like a comfort food for me. simple and protein dense. i crave a good ol can of tuna every once in a while.

A packet of Bold Thai Chili + 90 second brown rice and you have a whole bowl of nourishing food in less than 5 minutes.

>>19686795
I usually always get my chicken whole, which used to run about $1.49/lb, but that has been up to between 1.99/lb - 2.49/lb depending what side of the chicken cull we're talking about.

I could never wrap my head around paying double for shitty canned tuna. I'd rather pay that 3/lb for low quality hamburger meat, at least that would taste better once cooked, and is more versatile.

My mom used to make tuna melts. Half of a english muffin, stack canned tuna, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top, bake until hot and melty. It was gross, cheddar and tuna do not mix at all.

>>19685731
I don't get this I usually only see Prince's. Maybe I can find better brands in other supermarkets (UK)

>>19691039
Cheddar and tuna go great together. You thought it was gross because your mom is an idiot and didn't mix the tuna with mayo first. I remember the first time I went over to a friend's house in elementary school and his mom did a full sheet tray of saltines with tuna and cheddar and it was kind of mind blowing (didn't know what a tuna melt was back then). Every kid likes cheddar and tuna salad. It's fucking delicious.

>>19688059
It's /easier/ because unlike the titties, tinned tuna is ready to eat so the added dollar per pound is an acceptable upcharge for that convenience, IMO.
It's by far the cheapest ready to eat meat available, especially when on offer for, like, 49¢ a can and considering ready to eat chicken is over double that $3/lb price.

>>19690972
>I'd rather pay that 3/lb for low quality hamburger meat, at least that would taste better once cooked, and is more versatile.
Different foods for different uses and moods. With some know-how tinned tuna can be about as useful as raw ground beef.

>>19685646
Tuna salad Doritos sandwich

>>19685646
Can of mixed legumes or just beans or chickpeas, a diced tomato, red onion in stripes olive oil lime juice, pepper, salt, mayo (or Joghurt), fresh or dried mint, add tuna mixing all and you have a healthy and tasty quick meal

>>19692586
Forgot two hard boiled eggs

>>19685646
Canned tuna, at least whatever I buy, has zero flavor on its own so it's a great protein base for pretty much everything. My go to poverty meal is mixing in canned tuna with one of those microwave mac and cheese bowls with hot sauce and pickles.

>>19691905
Any kind of seafood and cheddar cheese is an awful mix, you have shit tastes

bump

>>19685993
Acquired taste probably, I used to eat the stuff as a kid and still like it as an adult. You can eat the bones and skin no problem, the skin tastes good and the bones are crunchy.

You can mix the salmon (or any canned fish) with hot sauce and/or maybe if you want, but I normally just eat it on rice or crackers.

>>19685646

>>19690971
when you really look at all those flavours they're really all the same
4-5 of the "spicy" ones are the same shit
ranch, bacon ranch and herb/garlic may as well just be "mayo" as well

mixed with quark, raw onion, pepper and herb of choice on a rye bread

>>19685646
Cook pasta, leave it to cool, add into it some onions, tuna, paprika (whichever colour you want --- preferably all three), corn, sour cream, and a bit of mayo. Season with salt. Put it into the fridge until chilled and enjoy.

>>19690954
Yes, the tuna melt is up there with the reuben / rachel

I have also liked draining the water adding a tbl spoon of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, fresh black pepper, half a diced cucumber and a handful of feta cheese.. served on thick toasted bread

>>19685646
>>19686126
Yeah tuna melt is a good way to go.

>>19694516
To be clear, this poster is retarded IE Eastern European. When they say "paprika," they mean "bell pepper" or "capsicum."
She also doesn't know how to make a decent pasta salad to save her life.

>>19694594
i know for a fact they have paprika in EE

>>19695108
Vegetable names, even in English, vary by region

>>19695108
Yes but >>19694516 obviously means bell pepper as evidence by the

comment.

>>19694594
in eastern slav languages they call it perec, same as black pepper. in south slav language it's paprika, and black pepper is papar/biber

>>19694270
The truly odd thing here is that I like pouched salmon and salmon from smaller tins but this stuff is just aggressively bland in a way that makes it supremely unpleasant to eat.

>>19685646
over rice with soy sauce, sesame oil and lao gan ma

>>19685646
I usually add a can along with some peas to some Alfredo pasta and make it stretch for a few meals

Fry spring onions/ginger/garlic, add a veggie, fish sauce, spices and some form of acidity, add the can of tuna and dilute sauce with some water, mix well. Fresh herbs on top. Serve with rice.

>>19685646
Cold tuna / pasta salad.

Whole wheat fussili, tuna, greek yogurt, mayo, small capers, tomato paste, purple onion (very very finely chopped), apple pieces, salt and pepper. Fucking perfection on top of a bed of greens.

with mayo, tomatoes, celery, and onions. Add some pepper and salt.
