is canned tuna raw?

[alix2.0]

i mean, i imagine that it must be. im sitting here enjoying a delicious tuna sandwich though, and i was wondering, why is it we can eat raw fish, but raw meat is a big no no? i mean... fish have parasites and stuff in them too... eh?

 

[coral head]

No, it is cooked.

 

[jennythebugg]

i think its steamed or pressure cooked

[alix2.0]

Even tuna steak is served seared. And rare. It is tasty. It is basically raw.

the canning process is a cooking process - so anything you buy in a can has been, essentially, cooked, but if you read the can it usually says on there that the tuna has been steamed before it was canned as well.

it is not raw... and vikings are vikings no matter where they are...
*that unless they got traded to another team...

we can eat both... it is just not wise to beause of bacteria and other stuff that needs to be cooked out of the meat...

raw meat will still provide you with nourishment and not be instantly fatal like glass...
