My parents started making tuna salad sandwiches this way years ago, and as far as I’m concerned theirs is the best and only way to make a tuna fish sandwich. This really is the best ever tuna sandwich.

CANNED TUNA FOR TUNA SALAD
A good tuna salad sandwich starts with the the tuna salad. And a good tuna salad must have high-quality canned tuna. If you have leftover cooked tuna steaks, then by all means use them instead of the canned tuna.

Both Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods have excellent canned tuna packed in olive oil that work perfectly for tuna salad. (The brand I like at Whole Foods is Wild Planet.)

Tuna packed in olive oil may be more flavorful than tuna packed in water, but check on the quality of the oil. It may be better to use tuna packed in water, drain it, and then add a bit of your own high quality extra virgin olive oil. This requires a bit of experimentation with brands. Once you have decided on the best canned tuna, your tuna salad (and tuna salad sandwich) won’t disappoint.
