Happy 'Tuna Fish Tuesday'! 🐟🐟

Wow...I learn SO MUCH when I research these topics!

Things I learned today:

1.Different varieties of tuna have different amounts of fat. Here's a list from MOST fatty to LEAST fatty: Fresh bluefin, canned white albacore (this is the favorite at our house😊), canned light tuna, fresh skipjack tuna, fresh yellowfin

2.Canned tuna has significantly less mercury than fresh tuna.

3.Light tuna has less mercury than albacore.

4.On average, a 120 lb person should have 1 can of white albacore in 11 days & 1 can of chunk light skipjack every 4 days.

NOW...I'd love to hear some of your favorite recipes for tuna, especially those that omit/replace the high calorie mayo!! I'm all ears! 👂👂👂

Interesting! I eat a ton of canned albacore. Love my tuna salad!

I was on point today. I bought tuna. But canned since it was on sale. I like tuna. But I am not big on recipes. I often just rise it under water (since I am not fond of all the salt) and eat it just like it is. But the traditional tuna and mayo is popular in our household. Will be checking back to see what ideas there are.

I use avocado or yogurt instead of mayo. One of my favorite lunches for a while was pasta with tuna and green peas with a Thai peanut sauce. Another good one is tuna and edamame on a green salad with a sesame vinaigrette

Mine's very bad....I love to make tuna salad with onions, put it on a croissant with Swiss cheese, and put it in either the oven or microwave to melt the cheese. XD

Fresh albacore tuna (bought off the boat) cooked in coconut milk add some salt. serve with rice and broccoli. Or Sashimi(cubes) in lime, jalapeños( or seranos if you want guaranteed heat) and soy sauce.
