Tuna Sashimi is a slider food?

For those of you who live in the Bay Area, my favorite thing is the tuna sashimi from Bristol Farms. It's raw tuna with a little sesame oil, seaweed and spices.

The strange thing is, I can eat 8 ounces of this stuff!!! It's almost pure protein, and solid protein at that, so why can I eat twice as much as I can eat of solid chicken?

I love this stuff so I don't want to give it up, plus tuna is so healthy, but 8 ounces is 400 calories, yikes!!

Just because you can eat a half a pound of it doesn't mean that you need to. It probably has more to do with the speed that you eat it rather than it being a slider. If I tried, I could probably eat that much if I were sitting and talking at a restaurant for an hour or two.

Oh my, calling it half a pound makes it sound even worse!  =)

It's the fact that it is very tender and covered in oil.  I can eat a lot more protein if I am eating it with sauce than without.   You do not need to give it up, but I agree, 8 oz. is too much.  You might consider measuring out 4 or 5 oz.  and eating that.  I wish I had a store that sells this in my area.  That sounds so good.

We're not lucky enough  (like you and Frisco) to live in one of the best "foodie" cities in the world......but we are only a short drive away!  I suspect it is the oil and soft texture allowing it to slide down.  Take some home......make 2 meals out of it......savor the flavor twice!

I've heard Bristol Farms had great stuff but we don't have it here. We can buy a whole fresh albacore off the boat though. 

I don't do sushi much so don't know if its a slider food. could be. regardless, i think another poster is right that you should measure 4 to 6 ounces of it for your meal and then have some vegetables or fruit. can enjoy the meal and get full too. looks really good. will try it next time i am in a city.  diane

Me.... I don't eat the RAW fish........ (I think it was being force feed the stuff as a child....as I am Japanese)

But, I'm gonna pick some of this up....... it looks like it's ready for a HOT grill plate  !!!!

BTW.... This is a common dish in Hawaii called "Poke"

For me cooked up.... I'm thinkin 3 meals.....

And Jen.... maybe try eating some with cucumber so it will hang in your sleeve longer.... Or eat a little cucumber salad first.

Well, they have cucumber salad at Bristol Farms as well, so that could work!

I eat sunomono (Japanese cucumber salad often!)  I'm 1/2 Japanese.  But, I wasn't force-fed sushi...... I was a willing volunteer!
