General Discussion / Re: Albacore Tuna
« on: March 14, 2011, 03:02:02 am »thanks sully! maybe it's my location?.. i've only been able to find (whole foods) canned tuna which says it's raw and flash frozen on the boat, but when i looked online it is actually 'cooked once'. the guy at whole foods says it's so delicate that it can't even stay out on the ice, but they don't have it frozen either. the websites i've seen say that tuna is so delicate they 'cook it once' for preservation.Yeah sashimi stuff is raw, sushi tuna in rice is sometimes cooked. Canned tuna is always cooked in stores, they are canned sealed, then cooked in the can like sardines I think. Its white and dry when cooked and pinkish moist when raw, can't you tell the difference? lol
i had some at a sushi restaurant, and i love it!!!!! the menu said it was raw, but now it seems i probably ate this 'once cooked' canned stuff i hope that's not why i liked it so much
this is sashimi, just raw fish with lemon and wasabi on the side, raw albacore on the top left hand side
