What is the best sandwich?

You haven't missed much. It isn't really a sandwich.

Are you thinking of Skippy creamy and Welch's on wonderbread or something?

TJ's chunky salted PB with a multitude of good strawberry spreads and good loaf of bread is a staple of quick, easy to pack lunch meal materials for multi day backpacking trips, etc.

It isn't a sandwich unless it has meat and cheese.

Best tuna melt I've ever had was in Harajuku, it wasn't all greasy like a lot of them get.

Chow in Lafayette had a really good tuna melt. haven't tried it since the place became Tutu's. I imagine it would be tough to beat a tuna melt in Japan!
 
I used to bbq tuna steaks. They were never greasy. They aren’t inherently a greasy fish. The tuna I barbecued was always light and deliciously flaky. Like a well prepared salmon or trout.

The greasy taste and feel comes from tuna that’s been packed in oil. And oil ruins all fish.
 
#12** at Jon's Deli is Stockton is great, just had it for lunch. Also their macaroni salad is the best I have ever had.

**#12 Roast Pork (they roast it in house) on homemade Focaccia (baked in hours). Lettuce, tomatoes, Bruno’s green peppers, and roasted red peppers

WRONG!
 
I’ve never found any preservation problems with water packed tuna. It’s sealed in a can. And tuna isn’t an oily fish in my opinion. Have you ever tried BBQ’d fresh tuna?

I have. Tuna is not really an oily fish but the canning process makes it lost most of its oils. Olive oil helps it maintain a more natural texture.
 
I think it just coats the fish in oil. Blech.

Also the flavor of the fish comes through much better if it’s not drowning in oil.

And it’s generally recommended that if you are making a tuna sandwich that one should use tuna packed in water.

I suppose it comes down to personal taste. But if someone is complaining that tuna is oily/greasy and they are using tuna packed in oil, they should give packed in water a try.
