Instead of this strange approximation of vegan tuna, try a can of chickpeas instead, mashed up however you like, with a load of mayo and some real heavy pinches of nori flake. Along with salt and pepper, it makes a great alternative.

@Robin John But fish fingers don't really taste like eating fish, they taste like a highly processed added salt and vinegar, breadcrumbed and fried thing. It's more cultural with the foods and what you're used to, because most of the meat people eat isn't just plain, it's part of the thing that makes it good, unless it's just unseasoned steak.
I wondered if you had any weird canned stuff like n your pantry. Glad tp see you did. 😀 Your content continues to be interesting even with the current limitations. Thank you for providing this lovely diversion.
Yeah, I have probably a dozen or more canned items lined up. I just thought it was sensible to take a short break from this series during that recent time when panic buying caused temporary food shortages
I'm gonna assume the rest of these guys are kidding as Atomic has a dog and I've never seen another cat on his channel, I'm pretty sure it's just a random clip he found on the internet. To mask his eating. He's used quite a lot of animals already.
It's great to see someone so open to trying new things. I get irrationally annoyed at people who just eat the same, plain, boring food over and over again.
A better one is to make your own vegan tuna, with chickpeas, lemon juice, cracked pepper, capers (for the "sea tang" effect), mayonnaise blended up, with a bit of sweetcorn sprinkled over for good measure. Much better than this stuff.
There is also a sort of vegan mock duck you can buy in a can, in wholefood shops. I think the Greenlife shop in Totnes may have it, so it may be available from Greenlife Online. I think it is a sort of braised tofu. It is quite pleasant if you put it in a casserole with root vegetables & herbs & does provide protein. I usually use the Marigold vegetable stock powder in my casseroles too. Thankyou for showing us the vegan tuna. I think my friends would rather just have some hummous in their sandwiches or some marinaded cooked beans in their salad.
A good thing to say in a restaurant, is a line from the 1980 Trevor Howard starring movie, 'Sir Henry At Rawlinson End': "That was inedible muck, and there wasn't enough of it."
You are the most intrepid man I know - in terms of food. I have adventurous taste buds; this goes beyond adventure with the “cat food” reference. TY for all your vlogs ands topics presented!

I've tried a similar product, didn't care for it much, but I've had success making a chickpea salad for sandwiches with a bit of dried kelp flakes in it for the taste of the sea, as you mentioned.
@@TyphlosionGirl Nope. All I've ever heard of is Mayo, onion and celery or mayo and sweet relish mixed in. Maybe regional? I'm in the northeast. What region are you located?
I don't even like canned tuna anymore, unfortunately. I think my tastebuds have gotten more sensitive over time. Not sure why. Thanks for braving this for us and giving us an idea of what it's like, though. I definitely won't be buying this, then. It's a shame, too, cause I was just thinking of what they could possibly use for the vegan equivalent of sushi. I mean, technically, it's entirely possible to make a 100% vegan sushi roll, as avacado rolls do exist, for example, and sushi doesn't mean "raw fish", it just means certain ingredients prepared with a kind of seasoned rice. You can have entirely vegan ingredients and still have it be "real" sushi. I just hate how we're basically driving a lot of fish species extinct. If they can work on the so-called "clean meat" (lab grown and basically cruelty free) version of many traditional sushi ingredients, that would be fantastic.
Ive noticed an interesting debate regarding lab grown meat in the vegan communities. It mainly seems to boil down to the reason for why a person became a vegan in the first place, and many vegans would happily eat lab grown meat for instance. Personally, I love the idea and would definitely try it.
Vegan sushi has become more popular over the last few years! Adding seaweed really helps give things a fishy taste. If you’re looking to make a vegan tuna salad-type dish, try mashing up chickpeas as a tuna replacement. It’s delicious!
Late to most of the party but I do enjoy your "weird stuff in a can" vids! I'm not familiar with most of the items you've opened (different continent, lol) so it's doubly interesting to me.
I love Laverbread. My late father insisted that I try it as part of a Welsh breakfast, in St. Davids, when on holiday in the 1980's. It was rolled in oatmeal, and fried. Immediately converted. That breakfast had cockles in it, too. Perfect.
I am reminded of convenience store sandwiches and meals. They're like rolling a dice when it comes to quality, interesting when it's not terrible, and at least it's food on some capacity. :v Thank you, again, for making such cool videos. :3
You have saved all the birds in my neighborhood. I bought a metric shit ton of tuna.. then I went vegan. I didn't have a use for all of the tuna. Pandemic came around and catfood became an impossibility to obtain.. this video reminded me of all the tuna I bought, thank you kind sir.
When you said you used some cucumber, I immediately thought "Damn, pickles would have probably been better..." because I know how bland soy products can be. You want to get as much flavor from other ingredients in as possible! Within reason of course. Then you said it yourself. I mean, it was too late for your sandwich, but it will come in handy for any vegan who stumbles upon this! Plus I never knew there was vegan substitute for tuna. The more you know!
Tuna has to be one of the hardest things to make a substitute for. Even if you had the option of using other fish, I don't think you could get that close. It has a very specific flavour and that's probably why it's so popular.
I don't get why there are so many substitutes, especially if you give up meat for moral reasons. IMO it's like masturbating to drawings of nude children and being like "I'm not a pedophile, this is child substitute."
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Do you really not get it, really? You're almost halfway there in the comment. One could like the taste of meat yet for moral reasons choose not to eat it. I don't see what there is to "get".
Also available in a tin: Harm, Spum and Chickout (see what they've done there?). Similarly delicious alternatives for those with nostalgia for an omnivore diet :-).

This Tunaaaaaaaagh is training for the zombie apocalypse when Shrimp has to combine his foraging skills with finding actual cans of pet food to survive.
I'm vegan, and I wouldn't eat that really. A lot of "substitute" type things are just not right. Substitution isn't really the right approach to a vegan diet, really.
Anything to do with vegan or vegetarian "substitute" reminds me of that sketch from "Blackadder goes Forth" where coffee is mud, lumps of sugar are dandruff and the milk in the coffee is saliva. A bit like in Starbucks.
@@orok6351 I don't mean vegan or vegetarian sausages, burgers etc. (I'm not a veggie but prefer veggie versions of these often) I mean when they actually try and re-create the taste of a specific type of meat or a tuna in this case. If you try and re-create the flavour & texture of any complex organic compound using substitutes it is only common sense it is going to fail.
It's a little weird that it didn't have any kelp flakes. A really really common vegan tuna recipe uses a can of chickpeas mashed up with vegan mayo and kelp flakes, because they give it that ocean flavor. Great video as always!
I am in the northern USA, and we have TUNO by Loma Linda brand (which is expensive, as I just checked spelling and saw the price) , and it and the flavored variants are often at the dollar store. I envision it pronounced as "Toon---NO!". Anyhow, it is very not enjoyable, at least to me. Its nice to see more vegan/veg options available at low cost though.
In our country, we never cut sandwiches in half. I think if we did, we wouldn't cut them diagonally either. Is there any explanation why they cut them, and if so, diagonally?
apparently the word vegan became an offence to many, almost as if someone would force them to eat it. really reminiscent to what you read about gay marriage from some people, the way they complain and spew hate despite being not affected.
Thomas Herzog Allegedly it’s because some vegans are pushy about veganism. Haven’t encountered any of that type myself, so I suspect the nastiness is more because some folks are a-holes. 🤷
@@Fernando-sd6xt No, if at all - the lies about PETA has given idiots the idea they can whitewash their guilty conscience about meat. If you are one of those "knowing" everything about PETA, i suggest looking up "center for consumer freedom". There is nothing militant about protests against animal abuse, let alone this being a small minority of vegan lifestyle.
We have 'Tuno' in Australia of which the packaging looks quite similar to this. I will say I didn't love the original plain option and found it quite bland too, but there is one that has lemon in it and that is surprisingly nice! :) Found it to be useful when wanting to make things like tuna casserole, tuna mornay etc, nicer used this way rather than just raw out of the tin on a sandwich. :)
They should just have called it "sandwich filler... stuff" - I'm quite fond of the various vegan sandwich spreads, some bean based, some just herbal mixes - I'm certainly curious about the "tunah" now.
I wonder if some onion powder or some celery salt might help. I use those spices when my tuna salad sandwiches. I have never used vegan tuna before either. I just thought it might enhance or mask the taste of the vegan tuna. Love your channel!
I have an idea. Why don't you turn the pull tab up before using the can opener on it so that you can pull off the lid without getting your hands dirty trying to fish it out of the can?
I'm new to your channel and at the point where I'm lapping up your rather excellent videos. Intelligently put together, easy to understand, visually interesting and rather entertaining. I've picked up on the ring pull can comments . . .. .why are there so many ? You open cans - correctly. I make my own music (well - avant garde noise) and need my fingernails for my guitar playing. Ring pulls are the anus of the devil ! Horrible things ! You can easily get cut, tomato juice spraying all over your favourite shirt . . .. broken nails ... .they are simply there as an option.

Why can I smell it all the way here in California. Cat food lol.👍👍👍
Thank you for this excellent video.
Anything to do with vegan or vegetarian "substitute" reminds me of that sketch from "Blackadder goes Forth" where coffee is mud, lumps of sugar are dandruff and the milk in the coffee is saliva. A bit like in Starbucks.
What? Why?
@@orok6351 I don't mean vegan or vegetarian sausages, burgers etc. (I'm not a veggie but prefer veggie versions of these often) I mean when they actually try and re-create the taste of a specific type of meat or a tuna in this case. If you try and re-create the flavour & texture of any complex organic compound using substitutes it is only common sense it is going to fail.
It's a little weird that it didn't have any kelp flakes. A really really common vegan tuna recipe uses a can of chickpeas mashed up with vegan mayo and kelp flakes, because they give it that ocean flavor. Great video as always!
When you opened it, it looked exactly like what a give my cat
These videos are very entertaining, Mr Atomic Shrimp, especially during lockdown with nothing good to do. I hope you are doing well too. Cheers!
Next do canned Shrihmp
HAHAHAHA!
Kelp granules or other powdered seaweed help simulate fish/seafood flavors in vegan recipes.
tunaaargh!
I am in the northern USA, and we have TUNO by Loma Linda brand (which is expensive, as I just checked spelling and saw the price) , and it and the flavored variants are often at the dollar store. I envision it pronounced as "Toon---NO!". Anyhow, it is very not enjoyable, at least to me. Its nice to see more vegan/veg options available at low cost though.
He: eat
Cat: hey.
The very second the lid came off I was like "cat food".
It should've been called tunot
omg
Tushit maybe.
In our country, we never cut sandwiches in half. I think if we did, we wouldn't cut them diagonally either.
Is there any explanation why they cut them, and if so, diagonally?
apparently the word vegan became an offence to many, almost as if someone would force them to eat it. really reminiscent to what you read about gay marriage from some people, the way they complain and spew hate despite being not affected.
Thomas Herzog Allegedly it’s because some vegans are pushy about veganism. Haven’t encountered any of that type myself, so I suspect the nastiness is more because some folks are a-holes. 🤷
I think it's more that a small subset of "militant" vegans and vegan organisations, such as PETA, have given them a terrible reputation.

No, if at all - the lies about PETA has given idiots the idea they can whitewash their guilty conscience about meat. If you are one of those "knowing" everything about PETA, i suggest looking up "center for consumer freedom". There is nothing militant about protests against animal abuse, let alone this being a small minority of vegan lifestyle.
HA HA HA!! I LOST IT EVERYTIME HE FLASHED OVER TO THE CAT!!!
'Smells like pet food'
CoNtinUEs EatTInG.
We have 'Tuno' in Australia of which the packaging looks quite similar to this. I will say I didn't love the original plain option and found it quite bland too, but there is one that has lemon in it and that is surprisingly nice! :)
Found it to be useful when wanting to make things like tuna casserole, tuna mornay etc, nicer used this way rather than just raw out of the tin on a sandwich. :)
I have some Whiskers I can send you if you're that hungry?
Yeah, olives in sandwiches and salads are more or less the extant of my olive enjoyment. Olive loaves are good too.
"It smells like cat food"
So it smells exactly like canned tuna
They should just have called it "sandwich filler... stuff" - I'm quite fond of the various vegan sandwich spreads, some bean based, some just herbal mixes - I'm certainly curious about the "tunah" now.
Can one purchase seaweed in a can? It might enhance the seaside flavour? Thank you for keeping on :)
I have to stop watching these when I’m really hungry
Tunah as in 'Tunahhhghghgh, I won't make it to the sink!'
The eating sounds are part of the experience 😸 seems weird without a good crunchy bite
I wonder if some onion powder or some celery salt might help. I use those spices when my tuna salad sandwiches. I have never used vegan tuna before either. I just thought it might enhance or mask the taste of the vegan tuna. Love your channel!
Crushed nori sheets are your best bet for approximating fish flavour in vegan dishes. I made a 'makerel' pate out of jack fruit and the nori saved it!
I have an idea. Why don't you turn the pull tab up before using the can opener on it so that you can pull off the lid without getting your hands dirty trying to fish it out of the can?
I've seen that in co-op was thinking of trying it as I like that companies braised tofu.
I'm new to your channel and at the point where I'm lapping up your rather excellent videos. Intelligently put together, easy to understand, visually interesting and rather entertaining.
I've picked up on the ring pull can comments . . .. .why are there so many ? You open cans - correctly. I make my own music (well - avant garde noise) and need my fingernails for my guitar playing. Ring pulls are the anus of the devil ! Horrible things ! You can easily get cut, tomato juice spraying all over your favourite shirt . . .. broken nails ... .they are simply there as an option.
Ah yes, perfect video for watching at 2am
