Salmon vs. Tuna

[bigdoublezero]

Used to be a tuna guy, but I'm leaning toward properly prepared salmon these days.

rare, seared tuna steak or tuna tartare > anything salmon

how is this even a question?

 

[TownieDeac]

A tuna steak, very rare is hard to beat when talking fish.

Salmon is good, not great IMO. Also don't like canned tuna.

 

[BillBrasky]

Don't really like either cooked, but I do prefer salmon over tuna when it comes to sushi. Does that count?

 

[BarcaDeac]

Tuna. I absolutely love it and always get some from our awesome seafood market back home when I'm in town. will usually have some sort of tuna sushi (otoro is just the best).

I used to hate salmon as a kid based upon how my mom prepared it, but I actually like it quite a bit now and find myself buying it a lot at Whole Foods to cook for dinner.

This should be an absolute massacre.

this was tough. a tuna steak is phenomenal. Like Brasky, I go salmon over tuna for sushi. canned tuna is super meh to me :noidea:

I've posted this recipe before in the CT, but this method for cooking salmon is awesome

Gets the skin as crispy as a potato chip. You can ignore the bok choy and such and put any sort of sauce on it you like, but the technique for the fish itself is flawless.

Also don't like canned tuna.

The good stuff from Europe is so monte. Toss with white beans and season.

Voted Salmon, Charlie Tuna would not be proud of me.

sashimi makes the argument a bit tougher, but still tuna by a mile for me personally

yep. (although i'm not partial to one or the other as sushi. love them both)

The likely problem here is that a lot of people have never had good salmon. You absolutely have to refuse to eat farm-raised salmon.

at home, we always do wild caught, and it's certainly delicious. i just don't think it beats out a really good tuna steak. i do really love salmon though. make it 1-2x/week. never make tuna at home. only get it out.

Cooked is Tuna, as sashimi or tar tar it is a lot closer (and depends on what kind of tuna we are talking). Smoked salmon is also incredible.

Salmon. :thumbsup:

Tuna: to quote my 3 year old, "that's yuck!" :werd:

 

[ipitytheblue]

forgot that my mother occasionally makes some delicious salmon cakes (like crab cakes) when I'm there but still not better than a good tuna steak

 

[TownieDeac]

smoked salmon is definitely a fantastic breakfast option. almost forgot about that.

i like salmon cooked on a cedar plank too.

 

[BarcaDeac]

any smoked fish is awesome in my book

I like raw salmon a lot, but I hate hate hate cooked salmon. And smoked salmon may be one of the grossest food products on the planet to me. I physically cannot get it down.
