There used to be a thread on the old GrowXXL with tons of ideas for making tuna taste better. Tuna is a great source of protein and its cheap, so its a huge staple in my diet and I usually just eat it out of the can but that gets old fast. My favorite way to prepare it is an old recipe that DrB2K came up with and thats as follows -take your normal small can of tuna and drain the water. -add 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil to tuna -add 1 to 2 teaspoons of your favorite bbq sauce -mix everything together and enjoy You will find that the extra virgin olive oil takes away the fishy taste from the tuna, and the bbq sauce adds some flavor. My favorite thing about this tuna dish is that you cant tell its tuna, it taste more like pulled pork. Feel free to add your own way to make tuna taste better

Sounds good! I've been "trying" to eat clean after my competition and I've discovered a new way to eat my tuna. I want to stay away from bread and mayo so what I've done is mixed some onions in my tuna, sprayed it with the zero calorie Becel butter spray, also sprayed some plain rice cakes with the butter spray...topped them up with the tuna and voila! I don't know if they tasted absolutely delicious because I was deprived for 24 weeks so if anyone tries this let me know what you think. I love it...

you guys have beat me to it...again I've done the evoo and bbq route...good done the mustard route (have to try with the vinegar though) the easiest one I know of is to rinse the ever livin' sh&* out of it with cold water in a strainer and squeeze a lemon over it and add some black pepper my personal favorite is to rinse it...add lemon and pepper and then mix in diced black olives and hot giardenera...quite yummy you can also add artichokes to this which makes it a little more fun... but the ULTIMATE...I think this is an old Melvin Anthony recipe...take the tuna and drain it (I would add rinse it) scoop tuna into blender add a few ice cubes and some diet coke...blend it and drink away I've tried this (yes I am an idiot 😮 ) and suggest you do not...
