Tuna Casseroles

While I appreciate your opinion on this, I buy Sashimi Grade Fish.  Tuna, Salmon and Halibut.  I also buy Eel.
I was born in San Diego.  Been going out on Tuna Boats since I learned to walk.  
What you speak of, is mostly White Tuna.  Since there is no real "white" tuna, that is a give away.  Albacore is the lightest of the tuna varieties.  
Some folks try to slip you Swordfish for tuna.  Also, Mako Shark has red flesh.  I can tell the difference in texture and taste.
The real indicator, is that it is cheap.  Any less than 20 bucks a pound, and you have to suspect that you are being duped.  
I buy only REAL tuna.  26-40 bucks a pound.  And, I only buy Grade #1 & Grade #2+ red tuna, as Black fin, Blue fin and Yellow fin.  You see, I usually eat my tuna, raw.  Sometimes I make Ceviche, but prefer Sashimi.
I appreciate your input, and those who seldom deal in Fresh Fish should take heed.  I know the difference, and have complete faith in my Fish Monger.
