I as many others don't eat enough fish so I try to get a can of tuna in my system every other day. But it really kills me how dry and boring it tastes.

Anyoke got a good way to make it taste good? As low calorie as possible but I am willing to forfeit a bit of my dinner if I necessary.

I make pasta with red onions and tuna. Just cut up the onion in medium chunks, fry it up in a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil, add the canned tuna in it. When pasta is ready mix it all together and add some extra oil on top. Add chilli flakes if you'd like some spice. It's not really low calories unfortunately...

In general, I have to say that it does matter which canned tuna you buy. I only buy a very specific brand and only the one that comes in olive oil. Anything else is cardboard to me, so I feel you.

Ok good thoughts about brands here, I'll splurge a bit and see what I can find!

Good luck! Not sure which country you're in but see if you can find Rio Mare as a brand. That's the one I like (partly because I grew up with it), Mediterranean and Eastern European delis tend to have it I think.

Start your recipe with the really good stuff. In recent years the cheap tuna has become terrible.
