Is this tuna safe to eat?


The other fish appears to be fine, no unusual smells, but this tuna looks a little brown…

  1. Even though there are different colors of tuna, I wouldn’t recommend eating those since it’s probably brown from being left out for too long.

  2. Yeah it’s looks fine. Some cuts of tuna are from different parts of the tuna so there can be a range of color. Toro is from the belly part which is fattier and the lean part is from the upper range of the fish.

  3. Also remember the tissue and any remaining blood will oxidize, so just because it’s a little discolored just means it might have been exposed to oxygen for a little bit. If you don’t trust it, Chuck it, but I think you’re ok

  4. Probably been marinated, collor might be the light? Either way, smell will tell you more than looks ever could, does it smell bad? Don’t eat, smells good? Should be fine.

    And any piece of fish that actually is bad enough to fuck you up bad will clearly look and smell off.

  5. Yes. That’s what fresh tuna looks like. If it’s bright pink it’s been “tasteless smoke” prodded before freezing to premiere color retention. What you have looks of the utmost quality.

  6. If you have to ask, maybe not. But the color varies all over the animal, and it might be marinated or brushed with a soy glaze or something similar.
