Not Tuna Pate (Mock Tuna Salad)
When I was young, and on into my teenage and college years, I enjoyed eating tuna sandwiches, and never gave a thought to mercury poisoning or to the mercury content of fish in general. Alot has changed since my teen years, and mercury concern is one of them.
Today, I still enjoy my tuna salad/pate, but of course eat the raw version of it. I enjoy it in wraps, spread on crackers, or dolloped onto a green salad. If this is your first time, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Our not tuna, mock tuna pate is a big hit.
