Dining Out: Unlike salmon, you don’t have to know where a tuna was raised to know whether it’s safe. Ask the server what species of tuna is available. Skipjack is safest.
When ordering sushi or sashimi, the Yellowfin and Bigeye tuna that are commonly labeled ‘Ahi’ tuna is the safest alternative. Avoid Bluefin tuna.
