Recipes Seafood Fish Tuna Hard Times Creamed Tuna 4.6 (101) 97 Reviews 11 Photos I remember eating creamed tuna on toast with a green salad on the side at least weekly growing up. It was one of my favorite meals and I had no idea we were eating it out of necessity. Times were tough for my newly divorced mom in the 70s. Times aren't so tough now but I still make this about once a month. It's great when you're in a hurry or have limited supplies on hand. My kids love it too!
