I always imagine fresh cooked tuna would taste oily and horrid.Can anyone explain what it might taste like! Compare to another fish perhaps.I'm just curious that's all

really that's interesting, doesn't LOOK like it would taste like chicken breast.

if it's super fresh I'd have it sashimi style.or hawaiian style done in a little sesame oil, chilli and kikoman sauce YUMMY!

Otherwise I like it done 'plain' like Davidt4 says, with a nice side salad.

It sure doesn't taste like chicken out of a can.I'd love to try it fresh, but I have never seen it in fish shops down this way.Swap ya a tuna for a lamb!
