For those bodybuilders that believe in eating tuna fish for a quick meal at home, what's your recipe?
I've often heard that a little mayo, salt, pepper and oregano goes a long way, but what's your technique for tasty tuna fish?
The purpose is to be able to prepare tasty tuna fish that can be eaten out of the can with no bread.

You don't add anything extra (relish, garlic, salt or pepper)??
I've even heard of people adding miracle whip..

x2
mayo and chopped onion, and maybe a very little honey.
-
Olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper.
-
Mayo, few dashes of hot sauce and chopped raw spinach...A lot of times I do a 50/50 mix of chicken and tuna together.
-
Most important step is to buy high quality canned tuna
Here is one of my favorites: http://www.americantuna.com/

Open the can and dump all juices and tuna into a bowl and mix well and then pour in some good olive oil and salt/pepper. You can get fancy and add other stuff but the basic oil,salt pepper is good

Mayo, salt, pepper, onion powder and celery seed/salt (if using celery salt, no need for salt). Add your choice of chopped onions, green onions, cucumber, pickles...
-
I pour Italian salad dressing on it (Kens) ..

Never considered hot sauce or raw spinach.

I toss a little Steak sauce on it or salad vinegar w some italian spices. Still yucky but it goes down better.

Anyone who uses light mayo or fake mayo like miracle whip should be sterilized.

Buy mine already flavoured, beautiful on some rice crackers!

No wonder the lot of you suffer when you "diet", everything I have read so far is disgusting. Straw Man, you need to consider completely draining the juice unless packed in olive oil.
Tonno is a good Tuna Brand.
If you are interested in doing a little work, I have some wonderful recipes that I use.
-
Miricle whip light, mustard, sweet relish, raisins. Albacore.

No. Use Dukes Mayonnaise and if you can`t find that 100 Percent Real Helmans.

onemorerep, seriously now, i do it like this:
take a bread, hollow it out, as in i take the soft stuff out and only leave the crust, and then i fill that with tuna.
tastes great and i can get away with one of these galeniko style sandwiches every day even on diet when very lean.
Galeniko,
We are trying to keep the bread out of the equation and simply eat the tuna straight but with some decent flavoring.
Do you season your tuna at all?

I've yet to see that brand at my local market. Next time I go, I will take a closer look and see if they have it in stock.

Mix an avocado with it instead of mayo.

You can make a simple tuna spread. Ingredients:
tuna
cottage cheese
pepper
sweet paprika
salt if needed
Don`t overdo the pepper and paprika, its just for flavour.
Mix it up and that`s it. Keep it in a fridge.

I'm in Australia, don't know if you can get them in the States, but greenseas aren't the only ones doing flavoured tuna now, it has really taken off, their are lots of different manufacturers doing them. I get the 95g small tins, the flavouring definitely adds some calories, but they are a small enough size to be good for a snack without overdoing it. The ones I get come with an easy pull-top lid that can be opened by hand and without a can opener. So easy to carry around when working, just carry a plastic spoon with you, and your good to go.

Tonno is a good brand, especially their Ventresca
I would never drain the juices out because you're also throwing away all the Omega 3's.
The American tuna brand has no added water so the "water" is really the just liquid released when cooking and there is not very much and and when you mix it back in it helps make the tuna moist and you don't have to add as much olive oil
On the other hand, when packed in olive oil I would actually drain in a small colander and then add a bit of my own olive oil which is much higher quality than the stuff they pack it in
Edit: The brand I was thinking of is called Tonnino.

Good healthy recipe
Go with Albacore, it's the best tasting...take 1.5 can to 2 cans and mix in 4tblsp Paul Newman Family Recipe Italian salad dressing, 2 diced celery sticks, 3 tbsp goat cheese and sliced up green olives..mixed it all together... delicious.

Cottage cheese? Very cool...I'm trying that. Learned something new today.
Here's my recipe:
- 2 cans of tuna
4 tbsp of mayonnaise - the full fat kind. Got to treat yourself like a human being.
1 tbsp of whole grain dijon mustard
2 dill pickles, minced. I like the dill pickles with garlic.
1/8 cucumber, minced
1 red onion, minced
About 15 green olives, minced
About 15 kalamata olives, pitted, minced
a small handful of canned chipotle peppers, minced (for smokiness, which hides the fishy smell, and heat)
Spices: a pinch of cumin, a healthy pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, a pinch of garlic, and that's it.
a healthy bunch of fresh chopped basil, rough chop will do to let out the oils out of the leaves
Sometimes, I mix in feta cheese (I prefer macedonian style feta because the creaminess blends well in a tuna salad, but to each their own). Sometimes, I eschew the macedonian feta, and put in crumbled up bacon (which I always have on hand in the kitchen at home. Bacon goes well with any fish).
I usually just mix this and eat it as-is. Quite tasty. I know it flies in the face of the concept of bodybuilding tuna (cheap and easy), but I'm done eating cheap, easy food. I like food to taste good, and it should be an experience.
Try it. I think you'll like it.

That's the thing..
For those of us who work in an office setting, it's difficult to avoid the dreaded vending machine, especially when you have one on every floor and next to every elevator.
I sometimes like to work through my lunch and pull out a quick meal (sometimes a protein shake, other times some polly-o string cheese or any other food item that has little to no carbs and is heavy in protein etc..), but the catch is how to make those small meals tasty enough to want to eat them after a long morning.

I will try this recipe tomorrow and will give the other recipes a try as well.

You find that the yellow mustard does a better job than the mayo?

Much better....with a side of salt and vinegar potato chips/crisps.

Mix in a bit of Thai sweet chili sauce.

I eat it raw out of the pouch with crackers.

tsp of mayo

i agree with this.
I make my own mayo....fresh egg yolks, salt, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary.
-
squeeze some lemon and eat.

sprinkle it with montreal steak spice, makes it more tolerable..

YES

Good call. Homemade salsa so the freshness offsets the whole 2 year old dead fish in a tin thing, and you know there's no sugar or HFCS.
If you want to be extra spartan, straight tuna and water with sweet & sour pickles onna side.
Adding fat negates the point of doing the tuna thing as a dieter. Making tuna yummy with fats requires so much that those same fat calories could be used to greater effect, in lesser amount, in another meal. How can you keep a straight face saying "I'm on a diet" while spooning mayo into food?
-
I dont bother with canned tuna with 200 lbs of frozen yellow fin in the freezer. Sashimi baby
-
2 can drained tuna
1/4 or less cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
add fresh Thai chili for a real kick
Pour it all into a non stick frying pan stir until fully mixed and steaming hot. Best served with fresh jasmine rice.

I like hot sauce or some kind of wing sauce on it. No mayo because of the fat content.

I have been going to the grocery store since before I could walk and this type of product is not available here.
Edit: It may be in an "Epicurean" style store.

Get solid white albacore (blue can). Mix in pinch salt/pepper,Dijon mustard,sugar free sweet relish, and the omega 3 low fat mayo. That's the best
Healthier less taste put soy sauce and wasabi in a small bowl, eat it like sushi. Add sushi rice on the Side if you want carbs to
Once you eat the blue can you will never want the green can again... Green can is crap, blue can is the quality cuts of fish worth the extra few cents a can
