Not far from Tampa, Florida, is a waterfront city rich with Greek influence called Tarpon Springs. This is a dish based on a dish I once tried at a local eatery. It really gives a Mediterranean taste.

Mix in Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper until well combined.

Add in tuna, flaking and separating larger pieces.
