Is it possible to cook with canned tuna?

You know, my ex used to make something like that frequently and it FREQUENTLY grossed the hell outta me. I'm going to stick with my tuna straight out of the can, and not cooked any further. I like that mustard/lemon/tomato and toast arrangement, though.

Canned haters should check this place out imho:

europeans have some high quality canned goods

the 'no reservations' spain episode features many beautiful looking & expensive canned fishes -- seemed like a pretty common if not high class tapas thing there

i would never order canned tuna at a restaurant tho bcuz it's one thing that i keep at home to make whenever i run out of food am feeling super lazy

yeah spanish are mad for fancy canned food. i have marvelled in supermercados.

in britain you can get some fancier canned food in some places. in a normal shop a tin of sardines is 40p or whatever, you can get ones in waitrose that are over £2 and they are so much better quality.

supposed to be a slash in there

when i was in school i'd make tuna quesadillas quite frequently, pretty much a tuna melt w/ a tortilla for bread -- did this when i had no bread left

The key is to get the good quality stuff that is in big chunks, not a slusge of finely flaked tuna in crappy brine (which I suspect is what a lot of cheap US tuna might be like?).

Here you can also buy tuna in cans like you would sardines - big slices, like you might get off a tuna steak almost. I've had tuna steak too and tbh I cant much tell the diff, unless the tuna is raw, and blech (not a fan of tuna sashimi).

in general american canned tuna is way nicer than australian canned tuna.

Fair nuff! I only buy the imported italian stuff anyway :)

(nothing more depressing than opening a can of Savings tuna and finding a puddle of brine and only half a can of actual meat)
