Is it safe to use frozen tuna steak to make tuna tartar? The recipe is Ina Garten's Tuna Tartare and uses lime juice. I cannot get fresh tuna

I would appreciate answer soon, as the event is tomorrow. Thank you.

Sorry, for double posting. Anyhoo, most of the sushi that we consume in the US has been previously frozen to kill most parasites. So I think you'll be fine.

Commercial grade freezing is usually considered a way to make raw fish safer, because it kills parasitic worms that could be living in the raw fish flesh.
