Easy Fried Canned Tuna

Fried tuna foodieinthedesert.com

There things in life you do not see yourself enjoying. For me canned tuna was one of those. I tasted it a long time ago and I really did not like it. I later resorted to taking the “flavoured” (for lack of a better word) one eg, mango salsa, thousand island, coronation etc. I stayed like this for years till some time in 2011 when I had dinner at my pal Liz’s house and she had made fried canned tuna with ugali that I really enjoyed. I remember thinking to myself that that was a new discovery but I did not think of it again till some time last year when I ate the same dish at my pal Mo’s house.

Now I’m not saying anything (-: but Mo’s tuna was delicious. She had put in some onions and tomatoes and fish masala. Then she served it with sukuma and ugali….. my GAWD that food was tasty and I just had to try it out myself. I remember I even borrowed her fish masala on that day I went to Kakuma town the next day and bought the tuna and that night I fell in love with the dish all over again.
