Tuna Reuben

We are cooking up Tuna today over at Fish Foodie Fridays.......

Fish Friday Foodies is a fun group that gets together to post fish/seafood recipes on the 3rd Friday of each month, based on a theme chosen by one of the members. 

Stacy of Food Lust People Love is hosting this month and assigned us the theme of Tuna.  Let's see what people came up with......

Would you like to join Fish Friday Foodies? We post and share new seafood/fish recipes on the third Friday of the month. To join our group please email Wendy at wendyklik1517 (at) gmail.com. Visit our Facebook page and Pinterest page for more wonderful fish and seafood recipe ideas.





I have shared a lot of Tuna recipes with you including: Asian Style Tuna and Noodles, Tuscan Tuna Steaks, Tuna Tacos, Cajun Spiced Tuna Salad, and, of course, traditional Tuna Noodle Casserole.

It is Lent now so we are eating a  lot more fish than we normally do around here.  I often celebrate Fish Fridays for dinner but during Lent we also eat fish or go meatless for lunch too.  This is fine for the Teen and I who both love canned tuna but not so great for Frank who is not a fan of canned.  He will, however, eat fresh Tuna so I wanted to make a sandwich so that we could all enjoy our tuna together at lunch time.

The best laid plans......the Teen doesn't like fresh tuna, so I ended up making tuna salad for her sandwich.  That just meant more for Frank and I.
