Ahi tuna is a species of tuna that has a similar flavor to bluefin tuna but is more budget friendly. Ahi, or yellowfin, tuna can usually be found fresh or frozen at the local grocery store.
Is it safe to eat raw tuna? Yes, it’s usually safe as long as it’s been handled properly. This fish is typically served cooked rare to medium-rare, or seared on the outside and left raw on the inside.
When you are selecting a tuna steak be sure to make sure that it:
- Ranges in color from a deep red to pink. If you see brown that means it’s starting to go bad.
- Is moist but not wet or slimy looking.
- Should smell fresh from the sea and not smell overly fishy.
