I visited my ex-wife's family in Hawaii this past summer, and bought a 12-pound fresh-caught red-meat tuna (Ahi) from one of the local fishermen.

Took it home, gutted it, and sliced it up like a Thanksgiving turkey -- huge slabs of raw red-meat tuna sashimi.

And ate it, raw, right off the fish. Fantastic!

It's not everybody's cup of tea, but it's a great treat for me (I can't get it where I live in upstate NY) and my ex- and our daughter, and the rest of her family except her mother (my ex-MIL), who ate some but preferred to have one of us slice it up and present it on a plate so that she didn't have to deal with the fish as such directly.

Man oh man am I jealous and and drooling! I am a red-blooded carnivore - I love steak, beef, filet mignon, ribeye, etc. Wife always makes chicken, chicken, chicken but if I had my way, I’d eat Ahi tuna sashimi most of the time.

Reason being is that tuna is very high in protein, low in bad fat, high in Omega 3 - so great for losing weight and keeping stamina. As a Software Engineer who’s done many late nights - nothing beats giving me stamina like a full sashimi dinner (sans sake).

Problem in South Florida, surprisingly, is that Ahi Tuna is a ripoff at $18.99/lb.
