ingredients
- 3⁄4 lb fresh tuna steak
- 2 tablespoons crab boil (liquid)
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning (more or less, to taste)
- 3 celery ribs, diced
- 1⁄2 vidalia onion, diced
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's)
directions
- Fill a large pot with about 1 quart of water and add the liquid crab boil.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add the tuna and boil, on medium, for about 15 minutes, or until the tuna starts breaking apart easily.
- Remove from the heat, drain, and place the tuna in a large bowl.
- With a fork and small paring knife break apart, or shred the tuna, however you prefer it. We like a combination of shreds and little chunks.
- Then toss in the celery and onion.
- Mix the mayonnaise and the Old Bay and stir into the tuna.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. Sometimes I will add salt, pepper, hot sauce -- you decide how spicy you want it.
- You can serve it at room temperature or chilled.

I have been looking for a recipe for tuna salad using fresh tuna. I had a delightful fresh tuna salad sandwich from a little deli on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina when visiting there...This recipe here makes me nervous! To put two tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning into 1/3 cup of Mayo seems like a typo. I am also afraid to over cook the tuna! Fifteen minutes! Yikes. Somebody help!
