How do I eat canned tuna?

[Sunnyluna823]

So I've never had it before, it's just something that sits in my cabinet. Do I just open the can and eat it? Do I need to drain it? Should I warm it up in the oven or microwave? Or is it better cold in the fridge?

there's lots of things you can do with tuna. i don't like it but whenever i did eat it, it was just a tuna sandwich. i like it kinda cold but it doesn't matter.
drain it, put it in a bowl, add in some mayo, and chopped celery if you want. put it on bread and eat it lol.
another way i used to eat it is in a grilled cheese. my aunt used to make it for me when i was a kid. make a grilled cheese exactly how you would. butter 2 pieces of bread, put in cheese, and fry it in a pan. except in this case you would add tuna with the cheese. i always had it without mayo in that case. just tuna drained out of the can.

It's better if it's been in the fridge - but that's just my personal preference.
You can make a tuna sandwich in which case you warm it up within the bread with some pickles, maybe cheese...

You can cook some pasta and put the tuna in there with some green salad. =)

the way I eat it, is to drain it first, then mix it with something like diced pickles and if you want you can add mayo but I personally use mustard and turn it into a sandwich.

Two suggestions, either:

1) mix in mayo and canned sweetcorn and put it in a wrap

2) Grill some potato waffles then put the tuna over the top, then a layer of cheese and brown off the cheese in the grill, a great variation on tuna melts!

I personally just drain it then eat it from the can, but i know some people don't enjoy doing that because they say it has a strong taste. I prefer mine at room temperature, but feel free to test and experiment as you see fit. Who knows, maybe you'll find you love it one way and hate it the other. (Haha yes, I know that last line sounds sexual.)

Open the can, turn it upside down with a fork holing it to let all of the juice drain, then put it in a bowl, sort of mash it up, mix mayonnaise in with it and make a sandwich or just eat it. It's yummy.

drain it and make a pasta sauce out of it with a can of cream of mushroom soup

[xcheerleader_jessx]

You could make tuna pasta salad with it or use it on tuna helper. Make tuna sandwiches. All sorts of stuff

[meatballs21]

You can buy tuna that doesn't need to be drained.

How hot or cold you eat it is up to you. Personally, I like it room temperature or maybe slightly chilled.

Why not drain, mix with light mayo and mix with wholewheat pasta?

[Batbob]

I"ve eaten it multiple times right out of the can (after draining it)... lately though I"ve been putting it in a bowl with just a touch of mayo and a bit of spicy brown mustard. OM NOM NOM haha.

I'm still amazed how people can eat that sour tasting yuck-fish.
It's disgusting.
Pretty much the only fish I don't eat, no matter how it's prepared.

Throw it away and get a burger.

Listen from the chef drain it first (u don't out it in oven or anything ) and put some mayonnaise and some tomatoes on it

[Anonymous]

I like tuna sandwiches haha. You just drain it, add mayo, mix, and then make a sandwich!

Chicken of the sea? Is that chicken or tuna?

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

You should drain it and eat it the way you want to

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

My late mom use to drain hers, add Bread crumbs, egg and make Tuna patties
she used pam so the skillet wouldn't stick or little oil and she fry them

[jakeofalltrades]

I don't know, I hate tuna

[Stefan1738]

Eat it with a fork.

[Bards]
