Yes it can have a strong smell, but get one in water and it does not smell as bad. Once it is mixed with items, it is not as bad. My family LOVES tuna sandwichs. Tuna mixed with mayo, mustard, sweet relish, egg, salt, and pepper.
I never liked tuna either until a friend made a sandwich for me - not with the eggs and mayo, but a grilled tuna/cheddar. I was addicted. The only fish I’ve ever liked is friend shrimp and catfish…don’t like hot tuna or salmon casserole or salmon patties … I have learned to like a tuna salad sandwich (cold), but my favorite is still the grilled. It smells awful, but tastes wonderful. Make it like a grilled cheese - NOT American cheese - must be cheddar - on both sides of the bread, tuna on top of one side, when the cheese melts, put it together and grill to toasty brown…
Good luck! Hope you like it - healthy too!
Thanks, folks! I think I will just be brave, and try some. Thanks, for all the tips on cutting the smell, and how to eat it. We will do the pouch, because we try to avoid BPA.
8kidsdad - I’m a little confused by your smoking comment! Who said anything about smoking? I didn’t, and I’ve never had a cigarette in my life!! Weird. Eta- Gotcha!
