Would you have eaten this tuna? It smelled a bit strongly of tuna… but not necessarily “off”. I was on the fence, but figured I’ve eaten some sketchy sushi in my day and I’ve always been fine, so I ate it.
Sorry for the poor lighting in the second picture. I didn’t want to edit the photo, and the lighting was dim.

    It seems like well-trimmed chiai, purely judging it by its color.

    If it is the case, i wouldn’t have it.

    Looks fine and I’m sure in different lighting it would look even better. Also sounds like it passed the smell test. I would’ve eaten it.

    Either way, you should know better than any of us by now lol, so how do you feel?

  3. It looks fine to me. But i dont like eating raw tuna it taste like human blood

  4. Feom thatbpic, considering the overall lighting, probably. Looks cut a lil weird, but doesn’t look bad. If it smells good, nom.

    Was it bitter? If it was, then it’s the dark muscle. Safe to eat, the regular one just taste better

    It kind of just looks like bluefin to me, am I trippin??

  7. The 2nd pic makes it look kind of dry, as if it’s been sitting out a bit. Probably not enough to have it gone bad, but enough to cause the smell to be stronger and the texture to be a little chewier (did it seem chewier?). I probably would have eaten it anyway as long as the taste wasn’t bad, but does seem like it’s borderline exchangeable.

  8. It looks like they served the bloodline. Typically very strong flavor and smell. Personally wouldn’t eat it.

    They gave you off cuts. This part is near the spinal fin that has lots of blood vessels running through it, hence the colour and stronger fishy blood flavour.

    Mostly it just looks old, like the tuna we’d be debating whether to keep or toss back when I worked in a fish market. Probably wouldn’t have eaten it raw.

    Everything in this picture is reddish. Could you remove the filter or do you have one without weird lighting?

  13. Is that the bloodline? I know some people eat it in Hawaii and Japan. I don’t see it served as sashimi too often in the US.

  14. It looks like it’s a cut from near the bloodline which is probably why it has a strong flavor

  15. I see people have negative comment on tuna color quite often in this sub. Reality is Tuna is often CO-treated to have a more vibrant red, that color is what people are used to but not a natural color of the fish. Real fresh tuna can have a very dull/dark looking color, not super appetizing.

    I cant say the tuna in this pic is good or not without actual taste/smell it though.

    I love tuna, and if it’s available, I’m generally going for it. That said, nothing about this looks good. It looks dry, almost crumbly, and excessively dark. Pair that with you mentioning it having a stronger-than-normal flavor and odor, and everything about that, to me, sounds like tuna that is old. Maybe it was refrigerated in open air for too long, or maybe it was a dry-age gone awry, but in any case, I wouldn’t be going for it.
