quick, help! wild tuna unfrozen, buy or don't buy?
« on: May 25, 2012, 03:21:52 am »
Hey everyone. I'm at whole foods and they have wild caught tuna, unfrozen.

I'm concerned about parasites. Should I buy it and freeze it? Or eat it fresh?

Are you still there at whole foods?

Ask if anyone there knows how to see parasites. An experienced fishmonger can tell if the fish is good or not - parasites or not. Also ask when it arrived.

I already bought it. It looks really good. No smell. After cutting it up nothing weird stood out.

I'm about to eat 3 oz

I don't know. But I just ate some and it was good.

I sometimes buy fresh, wildcaught, never frozen ahi tuna/yellowfin tuna at fresh&easy, and I've eaten it and don't seem to have any parasites.. But I think most people don't really worry about parasites here, either we don't get them, or we have them but they don't affect us.
Hi, I'm 32, around 5'4" and ~124lb, no real significant health problems other than hyperventilating when running/exercising (that my doc said was because of the smog/asthma), fatigue, and really bad acne.
I'd preferably be a carnivore/very low carb, but I have had a very hard time finding grass-fed or even organic fats, organs, and marrow. I consume raw dairy, but I do not eat much vegetables.. however, I do love fruit.
I live with my dad, so I also have to sneak any raw meat eating.
