Tuna Fish Cooking International Guide
Tuna Fish Bring The Taste Of The Sea To Your Dinner Table
By Barry J Smallhorn
Tuna fish are popular around the world and there is a wide variety
of meals with tuna. You can choose from Japanese sushi to tuna
sandwiches, tuna casserole and even tuna steaks for your next
barbecue.
Tuna are caught in the wild and some are grown on tuna fish farms.
Quiet often you can’t tell the difference as tuna fish caught
in the wild and tuna caught on fish farms seem to taste similar.
Tuna from fish farms has been canned since the 1900’s.
So canned tuna has been around for a long time and the taste of
tuna fish is very popular.
Some people eat tuna fish for health reasons, as part of a balanced
diet, in order to avoid fatty meat.
Many people want to eat a healthy, balanced diet and fish has
a large part to play. Tuna fish in particular is noted for its
nutritional value, offering vitamins, minerals and protein.
Its importance is mainly because of the presence of Omega-3 fatty
acids, which are said to decrease the risk of heart disease and
strokes.

This type of fatty acid helps to control blood pressure and cholesterol
levels. Another claim is that it helps lower pain from arthritis.
Variety of Tuna
The other reason for its popularity around the world is the fact
that it is very tasty and can be used in a variety of ways. Fresh
and canned tuna provide lots of possibilities, from a quick snack
to a main course for a dinner party.
Lunchtime sandwiches with tuna fish and salad are a favorite
and pizzas with a melted tuna topping are also popular. Fresh
steaks make a great option for the barbecue or grill and tuna
burgers are a healthier choice.
Tuna Casserole
Other recipes include tuna casserole, cheesy tuna with noodles
and tuna pie with grated cheese. Hot summer days go better with
a tuna salad, especially using a mayonnaise, soy sauce and mustard
dressing.
The downside to the popularity of this food is that some species
of tuna are being over fished, both in the Atlantic and in parts
of the Pacific.
Tuna in Sushi
The economic importance of several species is proving controversial,
particularly in the case of the Japanese Government. Tuna fish
is very popular in Japan and is used in the preparation of sushi.
The fishermen there are accused of ignoring fishing quotas and
there are concerns over sustainability.
Fish Farming
As with other fish species, commercial suppliers have turned
to fish farming for the answer to the tuna problem.
Tuna farms, which rear species such as bluefin tuna in pens,
are growing in use. Canned tuna, available since the early 1900s,
contains skipjack tuna in most cases and this species appears
to sustain its population at an acceptable level.
Dolphin Friendly
There is another controversy with regard to tuna. Animal rights
campaigners highlighted the problem of dolphins being entangled
with the nets used for catching tuna fish.
Dolphins and tuna often swim with each other and the dolphins
were unintentional targets, often dying slowly and painfully.
Alternative methods of catching the tuna were agreed upon and
consumers are familiar now with the dolphin friendly stickers
on canned tuna.
But if you buy tuna fish from fish farms, then you wont have
to worry about dolphins being hurt at any stage during the fishing
process. Tuna from tuna fish farm tastes just as delicious.
If you put a piece tuna fish caught in the wild next to a tuna
caught on a fish farm, and ran the blindfold test, it would be
difficult to tell the difference.
Just try it.
