Do you like your tuna 'pan seared' or really cooked?
Comments (27)Thanks, Ann, for clarifying the confusion. We refuse to eat longline caught fish & quality restaurants here won't serve it either. It's depleting our natural resources. That's probably why I only see yellowfin (ahi) locally...troll-caught with rod & reel. We live close to Montauk & Montauk is considered to be one of the best fishing grounds in the world. There are many fishermen here using just rod & reel to bring in tuna. Private tuna rigged fishing boats here are all equipped with huge fish boxes with proper refrigeration & because of restrictions when a tuna is landed the boat returns immediately to port to offload so rod & reel caught is also much fresher than longline. Quality east coast restaurants changed their menues to stop serving longline caught fish several years ago. Many either have signs in the windows or printed on the menues that no longline caught fish are served. Here's a quote from Wiki & the link to the whole article. "Overfishing Bigeye tuna are amongst the tuna species most threatened by overfishing. Juvenile bigeye tuna associate closely with floating objects such as logs, buoys and other flotsam, which makes them extremely susceptible to purse seine fishing in conjunction with man-made FADs (Fish Aggregation Devices). Bigeye mature at a later age than other commercially important tuna species such as skipjack and yellowfin tuna, and the removal of large numbers of juvenile bigeye before they reach breeding age is a major concern to fisheries managers, scientists and sport fishermen." From this article... http://www.hawaii-seafood.org/bigeye.html "Availability And Seasonality: The availability of bigeye tuna in Hawaii has increased as a result of an expansion of the domestic longline fleet and an extension of the fleet's fishing range to as far as 800 nautical miles from port." IMO, as consumers we need to stop supporting this mass killing type of fishing or our grandkids will never know the pleasure of watching one of these fish in their natural environment. Man...one on one with a rod & reel against the fish...is a fair fight. Longline hooking is not plus many other fish & ocean mammals are killed in the process. I guess because DH & our friends tuna fish we are very sensitive to this longline issue. There is some longlining here as well; but they have to sell to lesser restaurants. I imagine that most, if not all, of the rod & reel caught Bigeye tuna stay in Hawaii. /tricia Here is a link that might be useful: Hawaiian Bigeye Tuna...See Moredo you have a great recipe for a tuna salad w/out mayo?
Comments (15)"Can't do mayo anymore..." What is the issue you have with mayo? Is it the eggs? The oil? Something with the fillers or preservatives that store bought mayo has? You can to go to the health food store and buy "eggless mayo" or 'oil free mayo' to use if that is the ingredient you wish to avoid. It won't taste exactly the same but may work for your needs. If the issue is the additives that store bought mayo has, you can make your own. It is a bit tricky to make (IMHO) and won't last for a long time in the refrigerator, but is healthier. Otherwise you can subtitute mustard for making tuna salad. Even better using mustard with a bit of Greek style yogurt....See MoreHow Do You Make Your Tuna Salad?
Comments (23)I make it like mom did and we love it. So many people that try it are converts. Drained tuna 4-6 chopped hard boiled eggs kraft mayo French's mustard diced salad olives diced DILL pickles or dill pickle relish I use several tablespoons of each of the above ingredients I always use 2 of the large size cans of quality tuna drained well. Season it with a dash of Tonys seasoning, a little sea salt, and pepper or Cavenders seasoning. I don't use anything sweet at all. That's it no other ingredients ever. Love a sandwich of it on super soft white bread. Occasionally I have been known to put crushed potato chips on my sandwich but never in the mix. I do like it on crackers too but much prefer the sandwich....See MoreWhere do you buy your STPP from?
Comments (44)@mamapinky0, I just googled and found a search result on Pinterest. Needless to say, I wouldn't keep my hopes up for a solution containing Vinegar & Fabric Softener. I swear... one of these days we're going to hear a story about a mother who blew herself up following some recipe on that site. The Real Dawn Power Dissolver was a strong, Proprietary Blend of Alcohol Derivatives called Ethoxylates. And when combined with a mild-acid, the product worked absolute wonders on anything grease or grime, all while having no horrific fumes. For me anyway, it was a miracle product for cleaning certain pans, and other things like my Corningware Collection. ;). It simply worked, and it truly was a "miracle" product. It'd put "Easy-Off" to shame... if you used it to clean a oven, and you didn't feel worried around it. It's my understanding.. you can purchase a case of it, under their Commercial Line.. but, I really prefered picking up single bottles for $2-3 at my local Supermarket, or Wal-Mart. I'm serious.. when I say, I'm pissed if the EPA truly had a involvement here. They can overstep into Consumer Lives, but they still can't figure out how Al-Gore house uses twenty-times more energy than the average american household. Or why certain lakes & rivers haven't significantly improved, like promised... after removing processing agents & ingredients from household products. Such a total Waste!!!...See Moregrapefruit1_ar
