Tuvalu – Tuvalu Tuna
Tuna in any form can be unappealing to some people, like my wife. To those people I would like your attention (for those who like tuna you will love this). This dish is lighter fare and deep with flavor. People worried about a “fishy” taste should not be concerned. Give it a try and surprise yourself with something new. My wife even liked it.
