More ways tuna can liven up your party
While it’s great to have some spare empty tuna cans on hand, you can always kill two birds with one stone and whip up some delicious tuna dishes to serve to your guests. Tuna-stuffed pasta shells are an easy and aesthetic way to level up your dinner parties. They’re filling, fancy, and bursting with flavor. Tuna is an excellent source of protein and is full of healthy fats (DHA, a type of omega-3, specifically). Not to mention, it offers an added complexity to the flavor profile.
There’s also no reason that canned tuna can’t look elevated. Mix some paprika and chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or dill into your fish and serve it in prepared mini pie crusts. It’s a delicious hors d’oeuvre that takes no time and really jazzes up a few simple ingredients. The exact type of tuna you choose won’t make a huge difference — though there are some notable differences between Albacore and Chunk Light, the most popular two on the market. If you want a milder flavor where seasonings and other ingredients will shine, go for Albacore. If you like a stronger fish flavor, Chunk Light is your best bet. Both options work with a variety of flavors, so they won’t take up too much time of your party prep!
