It is a good option if you're following a pescatarian diet. It works well as a rather inexpensive main course. Head to the store and pick up bread crumbs, mushrooms, margarine, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the milk you could follow this main course with the Milky Way Brownie Bites as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. You could try Four Brix Winery Paso Robles Sangiovese, Cab, Merlot "Scosso" Blend. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.

Four Brix Winery Paso Robles Sangiovese, Cab, Merlot "Scosso" Blend
A Californian "Super Tuscan" of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot is a full-gallup ride for the senses. Concentrated aroma of raspberries and blackberries with tobacco and spice give a warm bold nose to this blend. Raspberry and espresso on the palate are balanced by full tannins and rounded by hints of pepper and vanilla with a sweet berry finish.
