sorry Tipp, that 'fresh-frozen' crap is a lousy excuse for tuna. not all ahi grade tuna is fresh frozen and only lazy or low end sushi bars use it. it is much easier to order in a box of frozen tuna rather than dealing with the relationships and trouble to get the goods flown in a few times a week. but seeing that bubblegum pink color in the case is a sure sign for me to go eat somewhere else.
ahi tuna does not freeze well, the problem is that it oxidizes and changes color. to combat this, it is treated with what is euphemistically called 'flavorless smoke'. basically it is gassed with carbon monoxide, this is what causes the unnatural pink color.
so while i am all for Suit using his powers to ban 'fresh-frozen' tuna, i think the thread should only be deleted by the original poster.
