Question on Costa Alegre Tuna Steaks

[mexijims1]

Hi:

We just had domestic tuna from Costa Alegre on the grill.  It tasted pretty good and less chewy than their imported tuna steaks.  Our question is: do you think the domestic tuna is artificially colored, because it remained a dark pink even after grilling?  There is quite a difference in color between the grilled domestic and imported tuna steaks.

I won't bother asking them since I recall another question on the webboard regarding whether or not their fresh salmon is farmed or freshly caught.  The person said he called twice and received two different answers. 

Thanks.

Some time ago I was in a nearby fancy restaurant and ordered a fancy tuna steak. I returned it twice because it appeared not well cooked. I find out later that all their meals are precooked and are popped into the microwave once you ordered them so even when I sent it back they would just microwave it some more.

About the only thing I can cook is a TV dinner. But by putting something in the microwave and letting it run for awhile aren't you cooking it more?

But it doesn’t change the color

When tuna is thoroughly cooked it looks like canned tuna.  Yuck!  I want my tuna seared on the outside and almost raw on the inside.

I eat tthe domestic tuna, It is better than the imported in my opinion. I sear it outside and it is raw indide, the only way to eat tuna in my opinion.
