    As an American who was only ever said tuna or tuna sandwich, etc. I do think “Tuna fish” has an appealing flow (euphonious consonants without any blends) and the ish pairs well with ich in sandwich

    In my mind, tuna fish is the shredded stuff in a can and tuna is bigger pieces

      No, nonono, now you are committing semantic sins that weren’t even implied in the original post! It’s either or, you can’t have different names for tuna solely depending on what type of package they come in, that makes even less sense!

        To be fair, I’d never thought about it before this post! Just an observation of my mental association I guess!
