Canned Tuna in Water
PaPaPeng
Among the very few snacks I take is the hockey puck sized cans of Tuna
in water. I have food sensitivities and can't eat canned fish in
sauce or oil of any kind. I have been draining the water thus far and
eat only the meat. It occured to me that since the flesh had been
cooked and soaked in that water since canning the water would have a
lot of protein in it. Throwing away that water seems wasteful. Is
draining a common practice? Do you also eat/drink that water along
with the meat?

Kitty treat. They love it. No melamine, either <g>.

Cat treat: if you have a cat. My guys go nuts when they get it.
The only other thing I can think of is turning into some kind of fish
stock, but I've never run across that being done yet.

I've been eating a lot of Norwegian sardines in olive
oil lately
I read that sardines have as much omega 3 as
salmon..... but less potential mercury

I also dribble a little of what I drain off and pour it over a handful of
dry cat food. Our male cat thinks he's died and gone to kitty heaven when I
offer it to him. Our female smells it, and promptly tries to bury it.

Doesnt work for the chinese, they have already eaten the cat.

I doubt whether the water contains any measurable protein.
Draining might be a good idea if you want to limit sodium. Use a big
strainer and "wash" the tuna and dump in a container. Most of the
sodium will be gone.
If you want to save the water and don't own a cat, you could fill your
half full toothpaste containers as you have in the past. Be careful
boarding the plane, though, as an inspector may think something is
fishy.

No, I pour it into a bucket in my kitchen, which later gets
dumped into my compost bin.
Drinking it sounds kind of gross. OTOH, maybe I should put it
into the water for rice or pasta.

No Soy
"Chicken of the Sea chunk light tuna in water." Besides tuna and water,
the can also contains "vegetable broth (contains soy), salt." The soy and
salt are the reasons why I push down on the cut lid and push out and drain
as much of the liquid as possible.

Yeah, I squeeze out the water too because it tastes too salty and also I
don't like squishy tuna.
I sometimes eat the tuna plain, or more often, will add mayonnaise,
celery, onion flakes, cheese, and tomato to make a lumpy tuna sandwich.

I don't have exact proportions handy, but I drain it and then mix in cream
cheese, cocktail sauce, onion flakes and parsley till it's a nice
spread-like consistency. Good alternative to standard tuna salad.

My favorite use for canned tuna is in a salad that has equal portions
of diced white onion, celery and red pepper, plus a can of drained
chickpeas. I usually dress it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar,
with a little cumin mixed in. Yum! Very filling and pretty healthy
too.

That's exactly what I do. I wasn't aware of the soy part as its
presence would cause throat and tongue irritation which I didn't
detect. The recipies given in other posts sound really delicious but
verboten to me. I do garnish my tuna with diced deep fried shallots
and diced deep fried garlic. These are available in twist top plastic
jars from the Chinese grocery shops. There is no residual oil in them
and they are as light as as dry as bacon bits and used as much the
same way but has far more flavor and aroma. Bacon bits are made from
soy protein and something I avoid.

I give the water or oil to my dogs, on their dry food. They are attracted
to the scent of tuna as much as any cats.

I add mayo, sweet pickle relish, olives, and cheese; sometimes a bit of
spicy mustard, for a quick tuna salad.

We usually have it with mayo, celery, sweet relish, and chopped onion.
Out of relish once, we used chopped dill pickle and that worked good
enough to sometimes repeat.
The same tuna mix also goes very well on rotini, for a cold salad
instead of a sandwich.

This sounds like something I dragged to work for years - plus I added
some fusilli. Frugal, tasty,and nourishing.
I also added a bit of curry powder.
