Tuna Sashimi - WWF Greenlisted

Tuna Sashimi is rich in protein and has healthy fats. It is one of the most popular grilled fish as it is quick to cook and has firm and hearty meat. The trick to getting really good tuna is to broil, fry or grill it quickly, it should preferably be raw in the middle to be juicy and tasty.

When cooking, everything else should be prepared, the salad should be ready and the guests should be seated at the table. Serve the tuna straight from the grill or frying pan and place on a plate. If cooked too long, it will easily become dry, but when cooked correctly, the tuna is a real taste sensation.

Tuna is fried or grilled so that at least 1/3 is raw in the middle. This is to prevent it from drying out on its own after heating.

The internal temperature for those using a thermometer is 31-32 degrees.

Besides being an absolutely fantastically delicious fish both grilling and frying, tuna is one of the coolest animals in the sea!

• Tuna have the best eyesight of all bony fish. Some species can have eyes the size of tennis balls, which helps them see in deep, dark water.
• The Big Eye Tuna species has a special layer of cells, similar to cats, that attract light to the point that they can see in almost total darkness.
• Tuna can swim fast. Really fast. Up to 110 km/h over short distances, but no problem at 70 km/h over longer distances. However, the average speed is 3-7 km/h.
• Tuna can survive in extremely cold waters. This is done by raising their body temperature above the water temperature – just by being very active. They have a network of small blood vessels near their muscles which helps warm the blood.
• The reason tuna is so red in color is that they contain more hemoglobin and myoglobin compared to other fish.

Tuna is not just “tuna.” There are 5 different species that live in 23 different stocks around the world.
