Does anyone have experience making sushi with canned tuna or salmon? (home made pic for pretties)

1. I have made spicy tuna gunkan sushi from canned.

2. No… I always joke that being a sushi chef opened my palette up to just about anything, except canned tuna lol

3. I ordered a “house roll” from a sushi joint that said “tuna with spicy Mayo and cucumber wrapped in soy paper” and it was fucking canned tuna I almost threw up Lmaoo .

4. So canned tuna or canned salmon I’d go for an onigiri, not so much nigiri or gunkan.

5. That looks really nice! cooked canned tuna and avocado?

   Looks like salmon it’s so pink! What was the brand of canned tuna that you used?

6. Guys! I found a recipe for spicy tuna with canned tuna and its awesome!!! I added garlic and salt to it. My hubby (former chef) likes it! Score!

7. Fuck nasty canned fish of all kinds!

8. It looks like Korean gimbap (김밥)

9. Tuna salad is good for gunkan

10. I recently ran out of bread but had some rice and nori left over from a sushi night, I just used tuna and spicy mayo and put it in a roll it wasn’t bad flavor wise but I wouldn’t call it sushi! It does get the job done though, I think what matters is that it’s tasty.

11. I’d try it, I love canned fish. If you want a good recipe for your canned fish I love making tuna salad.
    1-2cans tuna depending on size, 1/2-1 large red onion, 1/3 of red green and yellow bell pepper, 1 pickle, 1-2 carrots, jalapeño is optional, 2-3 cloves garlic. Mince all veggies as small as you can get em, season with every thing you like. Mix in hummus, pesto and Dijon until it’s fluffy. Serve on pita.

12. i’ve done it–many years ago i worked at a conveyor belt sushi spot and we had a roll that was tuna salad, krab stick, and cucumber rolled up in a thin japanese omlette (kinshi style). it wasn’t bad but they didn’t sell very well so i ate a lot of them, haha.

    every now and then i’ll make sushi at home for lunch, i don’t use canned tuna or salmon but sometimes i’ll make a futomaki style roll with canned sardines or smoked mackerel. it’s nice with cucumber, avocado, soy pickled shitakes and tamago!

13. Very good job!

14. Its my quick go to! Tuna salad, cucumber, avocado. Cheap and easy.

15. Idk about the sushi part, but i had some really bad poke today, and threw some sriracha on it to cancel the fishiness. Hope that helps

16. Look into Korean Gimbap/Kimbap. The most popular version in Korea is tuna based with mayo.

17. I’ve always wanted to try this – hoping it would satisfy the cravings for cheap… toying with the idea of using the flavor pouch (Starkist Creations I think they’re called) in Sriracha – maybe to make some type of spicy tuna thing…?

    Idk it’s still in the development phase 😅

18. My son and I love making rolls or onigiri with packaged salmon and canned tuna!! Basic mix mayo Himalayan salt and pepper

19. Yes, but only Alaskan salmon 🍣 tested for mercury. 💯testing on tuna no doubt, or I will not eat it. Sad cause tuna and many other fish are so delicious and are ruined forever by greedy lobbyist and climate deniers.

20. I think you did a great job! I was a sushi chef for about 6 years. So when you use cooked salmon you need to also add something crunchy like cucumbers, jalapeños, julienned carrots, daikon, or even sprouts to the roll. The salmon has so much oil that it can seep through the rice to the seaweed. I see you used avocados which is a great choice/addition but add some crunch stuff too! It will make it easier to roll and stay together better.

    ALSO!!

    Have you tried a salmon skin roll?! They are my fav! Bake that salmon skin until it is burnt and super crunchy (it will still be a bit oily from salmon meat left behind) and add avocado, cucumber, daikon, and sprouts! SO YUM!
