There is such a big difference between canned tuna and a slice of tuna sashimi that it is easy to forget that they are the same fish. It is true that a different species is used for each application. Typically an extra large bluefin tuna fetches a high price and is slaughtered for raw applications and steaks while the smaller and easier to catch albacore is canned.

Spicy tuna salad with crispy rice~
That doesn’t mean there’s no culinary overlap between the two though. So the next time you’re making a big bowl of delicious tuna salad take a cue from the spicy tuna roll. This recipe combines classic chopped raw tuna with green onions sriracha sauce and mayonnaise. Give your salad that extra kick by swapping out your classic mayo for Kewpie and adding the other two bold ingredients. For an extra finishing touch add a drizzle of sesame oil too.
Other classic tuna salad ingredients like celery onions and lemon juice are still welcome; they will meld with such additions. The dish is the perfect canvas for culinary experimentation. After all adding avocado is another way to make your tuna salad taste heavenly and it will work well in this recipe as well. So the more new creative upgrades to the dish the better.
Although tuna salad and spicy tuna rolls are associated with different contexts there are some surprising connections to be found between the two dishes. For one spicy tuna rolls are often made with tuna scrapings — it’s a style of sushi that evolved from a more processed fish base. That inspires some parallels in the assembly: if it’s in the spicy roll it’ll probably taste good in your salad too. So consider adding some cucumber or spicy togarashi mix to the salad — both are common flavors for sushi rolls. And to take it a step further you can even wrap your finished tuna salad in nori.
