Sushi-grade albacore tuna, which may be eaten rare, is sold frozen and can be found at specialty fish stores. If rare sushi-grade albacore tuna is not desired, tuna may be cooked longer until opaque. Or, if desired, this salad may be served with a can of chunk light tuna, drained and flaked, instead.
