Boneless wings are just big nuggets trying to be cool

Tuna is the beef of the sea and Salmon is the chicken of the sea

Ahi tuna is often referred to as 'sea beef' in culinary circles due to its deep red color and texture, though the 'Chicken of the Sea' brand name makes his second claim confusing.
