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.

i've been pretty much living off tuna fish sandwiches recently. tuna packed in brine. the stuff packed in oil is just gross. squeezing out the juice is gross and gets oil all over you. and like- there's not enough oil in the mayo already? plus some ground pepper. then some big tomato slabs.

without the tomatoes, it's not half as good. sweet corn or cucumber are ok. onions aren't such a good idea, i think. tomatoes good and juicy though totally rock.

as for tuna being really fishy- i don't much notice it. perhaps i never have? or perhaps i'm just buying tuna now that doesn't.

also- about sweetcorn on food, and mayo- i'll say they do it much more in japan than they do in the uk. did somebody mention mayo on a pizza in the uk? i never noticed that. but it's pretty standard here. even traditional japanese foods like okonimiyaki (egg and seafood pancake things) have mayo over the top.

Mayo on a pizza- no, I've never come across that in the U.K.

I've never liked tuna all that much- in any shape or form. It doesn't gross me out, but I'd rather eat almost anything else.

Do you eat sushi? I love sushi!
