One of my favorites, just curious of some of the wiser opinions here. Are you a fan of it? Or have a strong opinion one way or another? Please view attached poll if you are interested.
On a regular basis, we watch Wicked Tuna on a cable network. A year ago, the price-per-pound of a caught tuna was very high ($18-$22/$23) a pound. When watching lately, the price-per-pound has gone way, way down to $5 a pound or a little more. We seen a fishermen crew catch a really nice Blue Fin that, after tail/head and fins cut off, came in at a weight of over 500 pounds.
I like tuna. it makes a good sandwich with lettuce and tomato and can be made into tuna salad. It's cheap and healthy.
I've never had fresh tuna. Only canned. Not at the top of my list. A tuna salad sandwich is good with Miracle Whip. Tuna casserole? .Sounds bad, but I've never had the occasion to try it.
I like tuna; mostly buy the white albacore canned in water. I also like grilled fresh tuna steaks but haven't had them in forever.
I eat fresh tuna steaks on an off & on basis...almost always blackened in a cast iron pan. I like canned tuna salad sandwiches, but I can never remember which brand has the nice chunks and which brand looks like it was hit by the propeller. I got some of the propeller stuff in my cabinet now (Bumble Bee Chunk Light.) I really detest it. There are no chunks. Years ago I had tuna for dinner at Outback and took leftovers home. I made tuna salad sandwiches out of it. It was so much better than canned that for the longest time I was buying tuna steaks solely to make tuna salad out of it. And my tuna salad has to have hard boiled eggs in it.
I enjoy fresh tuna also when I come upon it but I do rely heavily on the canned stuff for it's availabity, protein, storage ease and affordability since I haven't eaten meat in three years. Bumble Bee solid white is great but there chunk light is as you have mentioned. Starkist & Chicken of the Sea offer a much better product in that regard. The egg thingie a very clever addition!
Eating fish is eating the flesh of a dead animal which, by MOST definitions, is eating meat, ergo, you're a meat eater.
I betcha that back in the day, they were probably even larger than 7 oz. Worked in a grocery store during college but in the meat dept. and can't recall the grocery shelf items too well.
Not a diet...a budget. Or more to the point, picking our pockets. THIS is why I don't want the metric system to be implemented here. One big Opportunity to Screw.
