This fishy salad is a favorite for many sandwich lovers. Where did it come from?

Fish and meat salads arose in 19th Century America when the middle class began looking for ways to conserve scraps of food. Housewives used a variety of leftover fish and meats for salad makings around this time. When they began frequenting lunch restaurants, the chefs there served them fresh versions of the salads they ate at home. Canned tuna became a popular ingredient when it was first canned in the early 20th Century.
