dfitzo53 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I came across a pair of tuna steaks in my family's freezer which are dated November 2002. Anyone know if they're still any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateCitySkin Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Tuna needs to be cooked so that it's medium rare for a decent taste-- Would you eat a 3 year old piece of meat that wasn't cured medium rare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 It didn't open the freezer on it's own and say no? Bleah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Money Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 If its vacuum packed very well I would consider it for tuna salad, if not then I would consider it for stray cat food. You made me crave sushi... I can't wait for tailgating during tuna season. :dribble: Mmmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ax Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Come on people! Where's your sense of adventure? I say hell yes, eat the tuna. Thaw that bad boy out and dive in. But first, dial 911 on your cell phone and keep the "Send" button unobstructed and in clear view. Just in case. For our entertainment, since it is the dog days of the offseason, you could set up a video camera and record the whole thing. That way, in the spirit of the latest Star Wars movie, we could watch your transformation from the lovable dfitzo53, into the evil "Barf Ator." You'll be famous!!

Kilmer17 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I wouldnt risk it. But there are a few things to consider. If it was vaccuum sealed, it wont hurt you. Probably wont taste very good, but it wont make you sick. And for other tuna lovers out there. A bit of advice. If you are buying tuna, you will get a better piece of meat if you buy the vacuum sealed and frozen piece rather than the "fresh" piece in the deli case. Tuna boats have processing plants on them that take the fresh caught tuna and package and freeze it while at sea. The stuff that's "fresh" is either a day or two old, OR was frozen whole and thawed then cut on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yeah, I figured it would be no good, but I thought I'd ask those more knowledgable than I in the matter. They were vacuum packed, just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddogCT Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Here is some good information on freezing food: http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC3064.htm It looks like you could eat it if you wanted to...but you probably would not like it. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've worked in a sushi bar for several years. Then you can eyeball for quality. And getting good fish fresh well... ...it's delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs' Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I should not offer my advice to this subject as I have been known to eat food out of the trash and off the floor.....but, what I would do is take it out of the freezer, drop in on the floor, throw it in the trash, take it out.....and cook it up :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
