Salmonfish for Lunch--Getting More Salmon into our Diet

Since the EPA discovered that tuna has dangerous levels of mercury, I’ve drastically cut back on eating it.  We do order tuna once in awhile at a fancy restaurant, but for sandwiches, I’ve discovered canned salmon—from wild Alaskan salmon.

Salmonfish is our go-to lunch on the weekends.  With sliced bread from the local bakery, spinach leaves on top and made with a mixture of mayonnaise, mustard, pickle relish and chopped celery if I have some, a salmonfish sandwich is a no-brainer.

I’ve recently decided that salmonfish could also stand as the official sandwich of the Democratic Party. Without spending for the EPA, the mercury findings and warnings would not have happened. And while Barry is still eating tuna instead of salmon, I have adopted his method of reducing the amount of mayonnaise and replacing it with mustard.
