Nothing at all Bill. Bottom line is what you're used to and know as Tuna
salad. I personally like a simple NY style with a mayo base. Just wanted to steer the thread back towards Chewy's query. he's looking for ideas, not a semantical quest.

What's wrong with mustard, eggs and garlic powder?
Hits the spot more than anchovies.
And you forgot the cilantro for Mar.

I think you should open a catering company featuring the Fourna Salad. You could call it----oh, never mind.......

Michael, I heard of Bluefish and Goldfish and Redfish and Devilfish.

Right. And those are the non-taxonomic names of the fish species.

Could we just agree to tuna flesh sandwich and get back to the core of the thread? We wouldn't be discussing a beef salad sandwich would we?

So much more to opine on tuna. Mustard addition/types, Sour Cream, green onion, chopped or roasted pepper, parsely, garlic, even the addition of egg. There's lots of ways to screw up tuna that we haven't even touched on.

See what happens --Chewy's really nice Sam-itch now has deer meat, lobster meat, anchovy paste ,french dressing, and a partridge in a pear tree. Oy vey.
Like the tuna packed in oil. Tastes mucho better.

I agree with the move from albacore. And I agree lots of kids order it.

Instead of anchovy paste, why not sprinkle the tuna itself with Worcestershire sauce before adding all the other junk to it? It has anchovies in it, but no one will know except you.

Then make sure you use mayo & maybe some onion. People like onion flavor, but rarely the texture, so how about onion powder?

I hate celery, but I chop up sliced water chestnuts & throw them in for some crunch.

Sometimes I put in garlic powder. Before I knew I could not have so much sodium, I would chop up sliced green olives & throw those in.

Have fun with it & remember no matter what you do, someone will complain. "But I wanted Miracle Whip..." "It just isn't tuna salad without mini marshmallows!" "I don't know why he didn't use scallions!" etc.

I wonder if it's just geographical Connecticut. My wife was from Bridgeport and she grew up saying chop meat, too.

But, ending thread drift, I must warn CTF not to use chop meat or venison in his fourna salad sandwich.

Michael, The Lady would grind the Chop meat right in front of me, and it was ruby red. We have come a long way in most areas in this world, but killing a few thousand cows a day in a meat packing plant and rushing the meat to market with no aging, doesn't account for a real good quality ending. ...............

Chewy, I think you have a great idea with the Tuna Sub, I always go to a BBQ restaurant for a Tuna Sandwich. What day is Waffle day ???????????

PNWCHEF,same day as All you can eat spaghetti with matzoh balls, smoked of course!Michael, I just tried a tuna meat melt sandwich with venison gravy custard...talk about fantastic!

You guys are supposed to be helping out Chewie with his tuna meat sandwiches.

Is that similar to hamburger fish or deer fish?

Here in the wilds of of the Midsouth you'll hear the term hamburger meat often but when deer season arrives and the harvesting begins you'll not hear the word "venison" from anyone: it's Deer Meat.

Heck, in the wilds of New England, where I grew up we just called it chop meat. And I never hunt for deer meat. I always hunt for venison, whether here in Ohio, in Alabama, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Texas -- wherever there are deer.

Why do people say tuna fish? I've never heard anyone say sardine fish or salmon fish or grouper fish or haddock fish.

I'm assuming for the same reason they say hamburger meat - or deer meat.

I don't believe I've ever heard anyone use the term hamburger meat, and as for deer, well, there's deer hide, deer antler, but the meat is called venison.

Never mix your fishes.

Good advise. If you add a small amount as in ceasar dressing it would be lost under the tuna. Enough to break through and you have a problem. It will make the tuna taste "fishy". Folks have judged tuna with the wivestale metric of being bad or spoiled if it tastes excessively fishy for a long time. Capers would be a better bet. Anchovy taste is extremely polar. Those who like it love it and those that don't hate it passionately. You're not going to find many women that appreciate the taste either unless they grew up with it. In my experience tuna salad is primarly a kid food. I don't get many adults asking for tuna and again, it's more often younger men and kids.

Dawn, do you know. what is the halfway point shelflife of tuna salad, I don't want to come anywhere near spoilage. walk in cooler @ 34-38 temp.

Chewy, I think your recipe sounds right on target, but I'm not sure about the Italian dressing. However, if it works, it works. If the dressing doesn't overpower the taste of the tuna (tuna fish), I'd say go for it.
