From the US Tuna Foundation: Canned tuna is the second most popular seafood product in the U.S. after shrimp. (Of course if you are Cajun, crawfish may tie with shrimp.) In the U.S., Americans eat about one billion pounds of canned or pouched tuna a year. Only coffee and sugar exceed canned tuna in sales per foot of shelf space in the grocery store. (Cajuns love their coffee - Community Coffee, Mellow Joy, Seaport among others). Surveys find that 88 percent of all American households have enjoyed canned tuna. In fact, almost half of all households serve canned tuna monthly and 17 percent serve canned tuna at least once a week. Examining how Americans use canned tuna, research finds that about one in four consumers, 23 percent, serve tuna once or more a week. Another four in ten consumers, 39 percent, serve canned tuna two to three times a month, while 29 percent serve it once a month and 10 percent serve canned tuna about every three months. Although most Americans enjoy canned tuna, the largest households serve it the most. This recipe is a great and flavorful way to serve tuna fish.
