You can tuna fish, but you can't bisque a piano.

I've never been a big fan of fish as a food -- mainly because fish always tastes like fish, something I found unappetizing. But I do try to eat healthy (or at least to occasionally counterbalance the sheer volume of fried food and potato chips I put into my body during the day) and so that means that occasionally I have to try to eat fish, and specifically tuna.

Tuna is somehow simultaneously wildly popular and amazingly underrated; everyone eats tuna, and yet nobody knows how good tuna can be for you. Tuna is, it turns out, really really good for you: a healthy tuna diet can do wonders for your metabolism, even for pregnant women. (There was recently a scientific study that found that tuna can be essential in making sure that you have a healthy baby, pregnant ladies -- it's not all fish that you need to avoid, just fish high in mercury. Tuna's not high in mercury.)

So eating tuna is good for you, because you've got to get the omega-3 fatty acids your body needs, but can't get on its own. That left me in a bind, because I don't like the taste of fish. So I found a recipe that brings out the good flavors of tuna and lets me enjoy it a lot more than simply slathering it on some white bread. I give you "Tuna Bisque:"

Ingredients:

* 1 large can (12 ounces) tuna, drained
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1/2 cup minced onion
* 1/4 cup minced green bell pepper
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups milk
* 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
* dash cayenne
* 2 teaspoons diced pimiento or roasted red pepper
* 1 to 2 tablespoons sherry, optional

Once you've got all that, then do this:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Saute the onion and peppers in that, and then blend in the flower and salt. Stir in the milk, cheese and cayenne next. Once it's thickened up and the cheese is melted, stir in the rest.
