@samsmerech: FULL NY DELI TUNA FISH TUTORIAL. Courtesy of my Dad, Chef Michael 📝🤓 Ingredients: -White meat tuna in water -Premium or homemade mayo -Celery -Spices (My Dad is secretive about his blend but he did reveal pepper 🙃 You can really mix in whatever your heart desires!) Steps: -Thoroughly drain tuna in can -Strenuously ring out strained tuna using a towel - should be almost completely dry -Feather out with a fork into little pieces -Add celery as desired -Add mayo. Ratio should be about 1:1 - start small and you can always add more -Add spice blend -Mix all together with fork. Can slowly work in more mayo as needed -Once you have enough mayo, begin to fold with hands. Don’t be afraid to be aggressive 😅 Be sure to get underneath and in all the nooks and crannies as my Dad likes to say… It’s simple and within 10-15 minutes you should have perfect NY deli tuna at home 🙌 Of course, you’re always welcome to stop in to Long Island Gourmet to try it out as well 📍 Let us know what you think! #foodtiktok #tunasalad #onioncups #fyp #foryoupage
Fully draining the tuna so it's DRY makes SUCH a difference.

People aren’t willing to use that much mayo at home and that’s why deli tuna is so much better 😂

This is amazing!! But for years and years and years, I’ve been trying to figure out how to make good deli style egg salad. Can you convince your dad to share that recipe?

Maximus Bri :
another important step making any kind of salad (egg salad, chicken salad. etc) is to let the flavors meld together and chill before eating. it tastes entirely different after it sits overnight, for the better! I find I add too much seasonings to it to make it taste good right away when it really just needs to sit and meld.

Looks great! Idk why tuna salad gets so much hate. I drain my tuna the same way. Wet tuna is *shudder* I omit the celery & use DILL relish (keep that sweet relish out of my tuners!) or chopped baby koshers, Duke's, a lil mustard & a couple chopped hard boiled eggs. It's freaking awesome
