    Can do but do not overcook and dry it out. Sashimi is good too.

    What sort of tuna?

    Most is best done rare. It's super easy to overcook.

    I like tataki style myself which is rolled in sesame seeds then quickly seared.

    Nice. Good chewing.

    For me personally I'd only be doing 30 seconds to a minute per side max. It cooks pretty quick.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
