Hi MObugs!

Glad you liked it! Actually, we also go for tuna more in warm weather — ha! We’ll definitely give the ‘tuna patties’ a try — it’s a great idea, and we’re not sure why we didn’t think of it!

It is delicious; tuna with a kick. I loved it! I will be sure to fix it more frequently when warm weather returns. I tend to prefer eating tuna when it is warm outside for some reason. If you get the chance, try this tuna as "tuna Patties" instead of salmon. It is excellent that way. I just had to report in—I made the tuna salad recipe that you posted here.

So glad you liked it. We've had that 'straight from the can' urge as well, but hadn't mentioned it in the post. When we called them to get some information for this post, we were invited to talk to the father of the family, who also captains the ship and was going to tell us all about his fishing. We've yet to take them up on the offer (we'll do it for a future post), but it's was amazing to see a company that is so open about its practices, and friendly to boot! Hello Mobugs!

I made tuna patty's, rice and corn for supper, and the family licked the platter clean. We all agreed that is was the best tuna we've ever had the pleasure of eating. I could seriously open a can and eat it straight. I plan to eat a lot more tuna these days. Thank you so much for recommending their site on your blog. I plan to make your tuna salad recipe next.

You're absolutely correct -- there really are no simple choices, and it can be quite a challenge to keep informed enough to make decisions that will be as gentle as possible. Thanks for adding this additional information! Hi Sally,

What a great resource! You’re absolutely correct — there really are no simple choices, and it can be quite a challenge to keep informed enough to make decisions that will be as gentle as possible. Thanks for adding this additional information!

Thanks for the heads-up on the image -- hopefully it's fixed now. It's a fish ball we were swimming through in Mexico, and the big grouper who was hunting in the middle. The grouper and a giant barracuda who also enjoyed the fish ball would keep having little territorial tifs. Bummer on Orange Roughy, I know. Here's the aquarium's take on things: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/web/sfw_factsheet.aspx?fid=54 Your lobster adventures sound amazing! We've never had it fresh from the ocean like that. Hello Jay!

Boy does that sound great! Double check your grouper shot as it won't load for Ken or I and now I'm really curious...Once again, this is just wonderful information, thank you. When I lived in Key Largo (nearly 8 years) a buddy of mine and I would set lobster traps on the ocean side as he lived on the shoreline and I can't tell you how much lobster we enjoyed. I just never realized my good fortune until I had Key Largo in my rearview mirror...nothing like fresh and I do agree, we need to choose wisely as so many varieties are simply disappearing. Wonder if Orange Roughy is still being over-fished? Most likely. Grrrr Can I have a Tuna Sammy? Boy does that sound great!

Where you buy it may matter too! (See their scorecard on p 5 of the pdf.) Haven't eaten tuna since the old dolphin days--probably before you were born! (grin) Even now, I'm not convinced it's a good idea to eat any fish, because of environmental concerns, not just ingesting mercury etc. It's a tough world and no simple choices these days... but the health of the oceans is vital to all of us! Then again… check out this one at Greenpeace. Where you buy it may matter too! (See their scorecard on p 5 of the pdf.)

Do let us know what you think. We're fond of trying different vegetables in there -- even sometimes a bit of apple. Tuna certainly is a good fish, and we were happy to discover that not all tuna has to carry mercury worries. It's how it's caught that makes the difference -- with pole or trolling, it's the young fish that are caught, who aren't full of contaminants. Hello MObugs!

I will definitely check out their website. I absolutely love tuna and look forward to giving theirs a try. Your recipe sounds delicious. I am always looking to try new things and this will be one I try soon. Thank you for the seafood information. I will definitely check out their website.
