where can i buy sushi grade tuna? Can I just use the frozen tuna steaks from the general supermarket for this recipe
ReplyDeleteGood question... I buy my tuna at the fish market. I believe it's a process to make sure there are no micro-organisms since it is not fully cooked but I'm not sure about frozen tuna. I would use it right after it thaws if you are using frozen.
ReplyDeleteGoing to try making this tonight! I live in Boston so we have TONS of fish markets around. Very excited!
ReplyDeleteSushi grade tuna is expensive!!!! 22$ for just under the amount to make this recipe!
ReplyDeleteYes Rose, this is not for every night, I make this on special occasions.
