Find out who the grocery chain buys their generic items from. Most get
their generics from a major retailer and pay to have their label on
it......I remember Pathmark buying their disposible diapers from Luv's and
packaging them as their own...Acme markets in Philly buy English muffins
from Thomas's. It depends. If you can find a retailer who will let you
know who they buy their tuna from, you might find the Starkist....the
manufacturer uses this as a tax write off....

Tuna does come in a 7 lb. can. Santa usually brings one to the FBS who
consumes it like water.

Having been a fishmonger, I can tell you that both catfish and tilapia are
bottom feeders (shit eaters) so they will taste 'earthy' for lack of better
term. Carp although a 'white fleshed' or non-oily fish is the same it is
called a 'ground feeder'.

I just pulled out the trusty Seafood Retail Manual....here is a partial
listing of 'white flesh' fish....

Pollock, butterfish, cod, croaker, halibut, sole, turbot, fluke, haddock,
grouper, perch, pompano, porgy, whiting, hake, pike, whitefish.....

Hope this helps.

Canned tuna is a cheap source of very excellent protein. :-)
And tuna salad is one of the most common ways of eating it.

But I do know that Starkist tasted better than our local HEB (Hill

7 lbs.??????

I had never heard of this until now. In which region do you live? I'm
in Seattle.

I keep my tuna salad simple: Canned albacore and mayonnaise.
Sometimes I add dill weed and black pepper. A Bubbie's dill pickle is
my preferred accompaniment.

I'll give the tuna and hard-boiled egg combination a try.

Common meals usually do. :-)

I just took several cans of tuna to work and stashed them in my locker,
and put salad makings in the 'frige...... now that we finally have one!

They just re-did our "break room".

It's finally real! We are all very happy about that.

Ditto here! I'd also never heard of combining HB eggs with tuna... but
it sounds good and I've got an excess of eggs on hand!

I believe it's albacore- comes in water and oil packed. I prefer the
oil packed- lots more flavor. Since you drain it, I don't think it's
much worse health wise than water packed.

I'm not sure of the point. You drain off the vegetable oil and then add
mayo, which is mostly vegetable oil.

Hard boiled eggs and mayo and pickle relish are all mixed in the tuna,
but da-yum, somebody eats sandwiches like I do! I don't know why, but
chips ON the sandwich are soooooo good!

I bought a can of oil-packed tuna on PURPOSE a few weeks ago, just to try it
out. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but now I'm scared.

If it's slimy, maybe I'll pair it with okra somehow. The grocery store had a
3-for-1 sale on frozen whole okra pods, so I got three big bags, and now
I've got to figure out what I'm going to do with them. Gumbo, fo' sho'.

My favorite way of preparing tilapia and catfish is in a Thai fish stew. The
extremely bold spice mixture does a good job of making the fish taste like
something other than mud.

I don't know where you guys get your catfish and talapia, but the ones
I get taste just fine. I've been eating catfish for decades and have
never detected any offputting or muddy flavor. OTOH, I'm not recently
acquainted with the flavor of mud, not having indulged since I was
5 or 6.

I tried "fritos" the curly corn chip thing once on a sandwich but just
not as good on a sandwich as potato chips. Though when used in a
cornmeal and chilli casserole.....

Many years ago someone would bring a salad to work that contained fritos
somewhere in or on the salad. I think it was layered and had a catalina
type sweet dressing? I don't really recall much else about it but I
think I liked it? It could have been because we never used bottled
dressings on our salads and this was sweet and appealed to a kid like
me? Does anyone know of a salad recipe that contains fritos??

I've personally found that farm raised catfish taste better than wild,
and the fillets are sweeter than the "nuggets". The muddy taste tends to
be in the fattier portions, and nuggets qualify. <G>

I generally deep fry those. It cooks a lot of the fat out. So does a
contact grill.

Ordinarily, I would say the gumbo is the right and only place
for okra. However, the "sliminess" of okra can be removed. The
cookbook author Julie Sahni has a recipe for an okra salad
involving crisp fried baby okra, yoghurt, sour cream and one or
two spices that is very good. It's not tuna salad and I would
not add tuna to it!

Doritos, but I guess you could use Fritos. Taco salad. Lettuce, taco
flavored ground beef, olives, shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes, raw onion
over Doritos or Fritos and a sweet Catalina/French dressing. That's the
only one I know of.
