Notes
- Make the spread creamier by adding more mayonnaise.
- I always try and purchase wild caught tuna, packed in water, as farm raised can have hormones and antibiotics. Pole caught is best and Skip Jack is better than Albacore as it is smaller and hence less likely to have the levels of mercury found in bigger fish.
