Got sushi from Publix. Tuna has these darker red lines. Dont seem to be seperate from the fish, like I can’t pull it out or seperate it. What is it? Blood? Just pigmentation?

  1. That’s totally fine. You should see the shit we cut to make spicy tuna lol. Way worse

  2. I love Publix Subs. But Publix sushi, at least with the two Publix’s I get food at, leaves a lot to be desired.

  3. That looks like albacore tuna and it often has small blood capalaries running through the fish.

    I think if your buying sushi from publix, these are the least of your worries. Enjoy?

  4. I once got very severe food poisoning from Publix fish. I vomited for about 3 days. I would just toss it.

  5. If it’s tuna it’s probably yellowtail, it doesn’t look pale enough to be albacore like others suggested.
    Could be puncture marks from the getting de-boned quickly/carelessly.

  6. lots of random guesses in the comments i see….

    this is albacore tuna and it looks totally fine.

  7. It could be (capital COULD be) line caught bluefin. They struggle hard when hooked, in doing so burst a lot of blood vessels. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s impossible to say not knowing the shop.

  8. I cut a lot of tuna. When the tuna is caught and brought on the ship, it slaps its tail on the deck. This causes bruising and darker lines of meat. This piece was cut from a piece of loin that was bruised.

    Totally fine to eat it just looks bad. Normally we’ll chop it up for spicy tuna or tartare.

  9. its okay, they’re just pimples, you can pop them and the puss will come right out. Enjoy! x
