How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Tuna
- Fresh tuna will have a transparent cornea, not cloudy, firm flesh that sticks together, and no unusual foul smell. The mouth of the fish is closed, and when pressed on the body of the fish, it has elasticity.
- Fresh and delicious tuna will have bright red gills, tightly attached to the gill arches, not slimy, and the belly of the fish will be slightly firm, with no loose feeling when held.
- Avoid choosing tuna with a pink or dark red anus that is protruding, a swollen belly, pale flesh, and that sinks or deforms when pressed.
- To ensure food safety and hygiene, you should buy tuna from reputable business locations such as large and small supermarkets nationwide or the TasteVN store system.

- Method 2: When washing the fish, you can mix a few tablespoons of alcohol or white vinegar into the water, then soak the fish for about 5 minutes and wash it clean again with water.
