Mmmmmmmmmmm..... raw tuna in a can that sat on a shelf at room temperature for 6 months. > Has anyone ever tried raw tuna fish? Raw tuna is one of my faves when I go out for sushi. Personally, I would not be inclined to eat tuna from the store raw unless it was fresh enough to be sushi grade. I prefer to lightly cook tuna steak from the grocery store on both sides, leaving it warm but still rare in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find sushi-grade tuna at Asian markets that cater to the Japanese trade. I'll warn you now: Sushi/sashimi grade tuna is extremely expensive ($15+ lb), but you don't eat as much of it as you would a cooked piece. At least I don't. It's very rich. Before you invest in it I'd suggest going to a sushi bar and trying some tekka maki, raw tuna roll. It's delicious!

Got some Copper River Salmon at Wild Oats for only $11/lb. So > much better than farmed salmon. Look for the Pan Island brand. It is sold frozen at my Bread and Circus, and goes for $5.99/lb, which is less than half what fresh wild alaskan salmon goes for there. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Tuna has a federal recommended allowance of 1 can a week due to mercury toxin levels. If you can get wild tuna from Alaska in general you'll be OK but lower 48 coastal fish, in particular East Coast (north-east) have tons of warnings. Same with farmed and fresh water fish. For daily fish intake I recommend wild Alaskan salmon. You can get it shiped flash frozen overnight at around $5-$10lb (including shipping) there is a huge Alaskan salmon industry in place. Also other Alaskan fish such as halibut. I eat 3oz or so of raw salmon a day and it's very affordable and safe. Sockeye is my favorite as it has the least fishy taste and buttery texture and red color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Suze, I order my salmon from here http://www.deepcreekcustompacking.com Local fisherman no need to go through a fancy middle-man. You can call the owner directly and he'll answer any questions on where the fish was caught, when and you can request any special like I eat mine raw so request with skin off.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 What do you order from them that you like? Have you ordered the cold smoked salmon? thanks, Lynn > I order my salmon from here > > http://www.deepcreekcustompacking.com > > Local fisherman no need to go through a fancy middle-man.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 I like the fresh sockeye the best.. the cold smoked is also good but of course salty so best on the side not as a main dish. The hot smoked is a good cold lunch on the go with cheese. -- What do you order from them that you like?
