Costco Kirkland Canned Albacore: How do I make it softer

[Ninjahedge]

Ranch dressing.

I had a quickie can dinner one time that was tuna, ranch dressing and jalapeño hot sauce.

One thnig though, it is always better to dirty a dish. Open the can, dump it into a pyrex bowl (very easy cleaning) and then add any combo:

Mayo (even if you do not like, all it is is emulsified fats and lipids. Use a little and it will make it moist w/o a "mayo" taste)
Italian Dressing
Olive Oil
Hot Sauce
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Black Olives (pref. Green is OK)
Celery/Cucumbers/Carrot pieces. Generally more "liquidy" veggies work better. Tomatoes work well.

For a quicky that works well and is great on a hot summer day try a simple tuna/macaroni salad (tuna, celery seed, mayo, celery and any small piece pasta) on a bed of fresh lettuce (red leaf) and garden tomato (Norther NJ has great ones, probably from the high iron content in the soil).

You can then add extra oomph with italian dressing, lemon juice or whatever you want.

YMMV

Stick with salmon. Too much mercury in tuna. And learn to like mayo for fuck sake. Mix it with miso and put it on fresh salmon. Cook it skin side down on the Barbecue and don't overcook.

I'm with you on the salmon, but fuck mayo. A little bit of olive oil, and some Old Bay is about as good as fish gets. Alternatively, the mylar packed smoked salmon from the NW makes a great quick snack, albeit a little pricey. At the bottom end, sardines, or kippered herring is delicious, and unbelievably cheap. For the cost of a bag of chips, you get real food that's good for you.
