How to Make Fresh Tuna Salad
- Fill a large pot with 1 quart (4 cups) of water and add 2 tablespoons of liquid crab boil.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Add 1 pound of tuna steaks to the boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the tuna is easily flaked with a fork.
- Remove the tuna from the pot and drain well. Let cool slightly before handling.
- Place the cooled tuna in a large bowl. Using a fork, flake or shred the tuna to your desired consistency. A mix of flakes and chunks works well.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped celery and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or substitute with chopped jalapeños or fresh herbs to taste).
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the tuna mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Taste and season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce (or other spices) as desired.
- Serve the tuna salad immediately at room temperature, or chill for later.
