It also depends on which town/city you're talking about. If I said I live in Richmond/USA, most people would assume the Richmond that resides in Virginia. There is probably a Richmond in most of the 50 states, so it's important to point out that I live in the one in Indiana.
If you're from Manhattan, not need to expand any further on it's whereabouts. Bingo. I live in Jacksonville, Illinois. No one has ever heard of Jacksonville,IL. If you say "I'm from Jacksonville", they assume it's Jacksonville, Florida. And of course, the nearest city of any size is Springfield, IL. But you can't say "I'm from Springfield" either, as there are Springfield's everywhere.

And not *all* Americans say "tuna-fish". I am an American, and I have never said "tuna-fish" when referencing tuna. I just call it "Cat food".

I only call it tuna fish when referring to the can. If I'm talking about the fish or a cut of the fish, I call it tuna.
Still not something I want to eat, though.

Crazy American's. It's like when they say "Tuna Fish". In Canada, when we say Tuna, we just assume it is a fish.  Crazy Americans? I say "you can tuna piano but you can't tuna fish"

My, aren't we the fussy eaters? My wife tells me that frequently. I think that the problem that I have with tuna salad is the mayonnaise and celery in it.

No fussy eater here ... can't do raw oysters though, looks too much like something from a cow's nose.

I don't mind canned tuna but it has to be plain. I hate it any other way, tuna salad if freakin gross. The daughter makes that crap they call tuna helper, that stuff smells awful.
