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.
to be fair, in arizona we talk about the sonoran desert. "sonoran" is an adjective, so it's not quite the same. but nobody calls it "the sonora".
language is odd. i'd feel odd referring to a tuna fish sandwich as a "tuna sandwich"... to me, the addition of "fish" somehow denotes canned tuna mixed with mayonnaise. a "tuna sandwich" makes me think of a tuna steak in a sandwich.
