Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost.
2. Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

i made tuna pasta last night & it was gorgeous.

i sauteed 2 red onions, one yellow pepper & one red pepper with 2 cloves of garlic.
i mixed this with little pasta bows & we had a couple of slices of garlic bread with it.

Canned tuna: Tuna ala king, tuna omelet, salad with boiled potatoes, olives and green beans. Tuna cakes: drain the tuna, mix well with breadcrumbs, minced onion, salt and pepper andone eggs. fry in little patties and serve in sandwiches or as a side dish, with tartar sauce.
Tuna with your favourite pasta sauce. Tuna works well as a meat substitute.
