Only about one percent of tuna comes to the market to be sold fresh. The rest goes to the cannery, because canned tuna is America's most popular fish. If you haven't yet tried fresh tuna, you're missing one of the best meals to come from the ocean.The word tuna dates back only to 1880 in print and is attributed as a Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny. It is derived from the Latin Thunnus, the name of its scientific genus. Tuna has been fished from the warm, temperate parts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans since ancient times. As a member of the mackeral family, tuna naturally has a stronger, more robust flavor than whitefish

Gammon (Ham) Steaks with Whiskey Sauce (goes nice with the colcannon recipe on this page as well)

The word gammon goes back a long way, at least to the fourteenth century. It may have come into English from French, as the word jambon starts being used for ham in the middle-French dialects around the same time. Once gammon meant any rear haunch of a pig, or specifically the ham: later it came to mean some of the side cuts as well, though only as long as they were still attached to the pig's haunch while the meat was being cured. Today it simply means ham, and "gammon steak" is ham steak
