Canned Tuna. My Friend!

[Augie91]

Basically just smoked fish, cream cheese, Worcestershire, and a few spices. Pretty simple. It is surprisingly good. Our family eats a bunch whenever we go to beach!!!

That and trigger fish are our go to eats.

Mexas, the recipe is in the OP.

Damn you it is.

Wonder how it would be to sub yard-bird?

Chicken of the Sea. Never understood that. Do tuna and chicken breast taste at all alike?!

Gave the smoked tuna spread recipe a go today.  I used smaller amount of whipped cream cheese and 1/2 the amount of liquid smoke.  Ate on a club type cracker.  Turned out pretty good.  Not exactly like what I had at the beach, but pretty close.  My wife and daughters will be the true measure of how it turned out.

Last time we were at the beach, I made a smoked tuna spread grilled cheese and a trigger fish grilled cheese that were pretty popular.

Sam's does not have it.  They carry it at Walmart though!  Get one can for $2 and see what you think!  I think the key is it is Yellowfin, but most importantly it is packed in olive oil.  The water packed stuff is dry to me, and it is albacore which for some reason is pricey.  We've ate a ton of smoked tuna dip in Floribamas, I'm excited to try the recipe which is healthier.

I read some articles about how if tuna is not packed really quickly after they kill it allergic reactions can occur.  I like the tuna steaks rare too and my favorite sushi is tuna avocado roll.

Here's a pic of the can.

I picked up a couple cans of this from my Wally yesterday.

Ya'll know there is a Cracka shortage? You won't find any saltines these days.

Wheat shortage.

I've noticed that there's been a bit of a run on the pasta and crackers lately.  Apparently, Ukraine and Russia grow a third of the worlds wheat.  Time to buy spaghetti for the bunker?!

The more I eat of that tuna the more I like it.  I need to see if Costco has any left.

I have an assload of 'spag, shellz, and lasagna noodles on hand.

Here's the recipe I've settled on so far:

1 can Genova Yellowfin tuna drained.
1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
1 TBL mayo?!
1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp garlic powder
dash old bay or tony C's or slap you mama seasoning or couple shakes of chipotle Cholula

I really like this spread on wasa crackers or club crackers!

Costco has the canned Portofino Yellowfin Tuna on sale. I picked some up and it is excellent quality!
