I picked up a poke bowl at Costco and know it's not the best quality but are those white lines normal and most importantly edible? I've never seen them that thick. Thank you!

Looks like the fat/silver skin between the tuna’s fibers?

Connective tissue. Very normal. Not a desired cut for sushi, but you see them thrown in Poke all the time.
If you catch and process a tuna at home, you will notice that many cuts of meat have connective tissue running through. It doesn’t affect the flavor, but does affect the texture. I usually use those pieces for Poke or I strip out the connective tissue and mince the remaining meat to make spicy tuna rolls.

Yeah, connective tissue. Might make the tuna a bit chewier than you would find in most nigiri or sushi rolls, but they’re perfectly fine to eat.

Yeah I’d be irritated, but it’s normal. That’s what I use for spicy tuna after pulling those bad boys outta there, they are too chewy

Totally edible and safe…not very enjoyable. This is mediocre quality review as this kind of stuff gets removed in higher quality poke and sushi spots, as it’s tough and chewy.
Long story short – you can eat it, but it’s not the best texture.

This is just poorly prepared fish. The stringy stuff should not have been served to you, it should get scraped off with a spoon and turned into negitoro. It’s not horrible, just not choice.

Many sushi places use frozen tuna to make poke. The frozen tuna saku blocks have food coloring added and many people expect that color on all tuna. Fresh tuna without the food coloring is going to look a bit different and a different taste. So yes, I think it looks very good to me.

I know there’s mold in the keyboard

It’s sinew, aka connective tissues like others mentioned. I rather not have them in my tuna but its sometimes there
