Was on a thread recently where a comment was demeaningly made, and I paraphrase, about putting cheese (or not) on a pasta vongole.
I'm getting as old as fuck, but with my maternal grandparents having come over from Naples and Sicily respectively, I thought I'd put in my 2 cents/ask others:
Does cheese belong on any seafood or seafood-related pasta dish?
Me- Reggiano Parmigiano and/or Pecorino Romano (preferably Locatelli) Hell yes. This is how I was raised.
Just hotdogs 😂😂
Seafood and cheese.
Mexicans are all over it.
Or maybe it's just American Mexicans, like the American Italians, put cheese on everything.

find eggplant parmesean and zucchini parmesan on menus in Italy quite a bit.
I've never been south of Rome, but I think the reference above was to "American" dishes like chicken parmesan, veal parmesan, and heaven forbid "scampi parmesan."
Tomato sauce and cheese shouldn't be spread all over anything that was, when alive, motile.
Well excepting hamburgers, meatloaf, and meat balls in a hoagie.
Close thread. This is the correct answer. We never put cheese on fish.
You guys just got me craving Italian food, though, so much for low carbs today....

Man, how could I forget one of my all=time favs? McDonalds' Filet O Fish with American cheese. Whenever I had to have dinner in my car in UT, I'd get that and a double cheeseburger to go. Heaven
I haven't had McDo'nald's in about 20 years. But, even when I ate it, I don't think I ever had the Filet O Fish.
Gotta try it Matt, it's a game changer, LOL

Oh yeah, MacDonalds Filet o' Fish was definitely a game changer.
Changed a simple filet of fish - one of the healthiest protein foods a human can consume - into the nutritive value of a glazed donut!
If you want to blame somebody, Blame the Brits.
The other "Parm" dishes that exist in the USA and Brazil with Meatballs, Chicken, Shrimp, Veal and Beef are quite rare in Italy.
Oh and if you ask for Pizza with Pepperoni in Italy you will get "peppers" on your pizza. The closest thing you can get to American traditional Pepperoni is Salami Picante.
Diavola yo
Mixed the tuna lightly with a tblsp or so of mayo and maybe 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, spread on a lightly toasted everything bagel, topped pretty generously with fresh mozzarella, melted under a broiler, each 1/2 topped with 2 tomato slices.
Skipped the bacon... Tomato slices were my concession to dietary health.
It was yummy. No salt or pepper or other spices other than what's already in the mayo and dijon.

Italian tuna, domestic light or dark?

I did indeed have a tuna melt this morning for breakfast, on an "everything" bagel.

Yellowfin Tuna, Solid Light packed in oil, product of Thailand but somehow canned in the USA
DelMar brand, first I've seen or bought it. Slightly undersized can of 3 oz net but really almost all tuna, very little oil or juice, so it's a perfect 1 person portion.
Good - very good quality, far closer to a solid white Albacore than your typical cheap "chunk light" from Starkist that is over the top fishy for me.
I will buy this product again. Tab top can too, for convenience.
