Tuna

[poliphilo]

Why- when tinned tuna is so very, very fishy- does fresh tuna taste of nothing?

I was visiting Honfleur once and the tuna fleet was in- and these huge, fat , blue-black fishes- frozen solid-  were lying all over the dock  like unexploded bombs.

Tuna fish? I really don't know.

But I seem to remember a time when tuna was known through the English speaking world as "tunny".
