tuna fish

Sandwich tin contents

Tuna fish is simply tuna—the large ocean fish or its flesh as food.

The redundant "fish" distinguishes the food from the Opuntia cactus fruit also called tuna, though context usually makes this clear.

The phrase appears most often with canned tuna: a tuna fish sandwich, tuna fish salad.
