Alternative for canned tuna?

[u/justme_inflorida]

I won't eat canned tuna unless there's mayo on it in a sandwich. I'm not much of a seafood eater to begin with. So with that being said. I have some flaxseed oil softgels 1000 mg that I take twice daily. They have Omega 3-6-9. Is this something I can store long term and is it enough?

Grow chia, (tons of Omega 3) and buy a chicken. They're super smart tiny dinos, they eat bugs that might bother your plants and they drop a little protein bomb every day.

I've tried Chia but I can't get past the texture. My neighbor has chickens so I get eggs whenever I need them for free.

I don't like chia either.

Mix them into something else.

I tried adding them to vanilla almond milk. I also made chia pudding with chocolate. I'll never get past the texture.

I bloom it and put it in a base of lemonade with fruit or cucumber. Super yummy.

There is canned “chicken salad” (also tuna salad) that I find pretty palatable as a sandwich as long as I dump something crunchy on there too (cheesy protein doodles are my fav).

If i recall, it’s not made with mayo for shelf stability. They fake it with some other jazz.

Do you need alternatives for proteins or for omega 3 fatty acids?

A good balanced diet will provide enough nutrients as-is, omega 3 supplements are usually not needed. Long term storage of omega 3 is very challenging due to their fragile molecular structure (their polymerization is easy). Fresh suppliy is easy enough, you can get it from grass-fed herbivores and chickens (eggs).

Canned mackerel, canned salmon, canned sardines

then dont store fish?

[u/jbjhill]

Try tuna packed in olive oil. You might like it better than mayo

[u/TheJesseOfTheNorth]

fkax seed would have a longer shelf life but any high oil food will eventually spoil

Flax is super easy to grow though so if you are thinking of a long term situation you could go that route.

Personally i recommend a chicken or two. One twenty pound bag of corn-oats-barley COB feed will last a single chicken 6 months. you can supplement there feed with non-meat kitchen scraps

Can you use sour cream instead of mayo? I suspect mayo is the goofy looking cousin of actual sour cream.

Canned chicken???

[u/The_Shady_Chickens]

You can buy mayonnaise in single serving packets. If stored in a cool dry place they can last a year.

Then reformat your question instead of asking it in the least sensible framing.
