It's exciting to hear that Coles is offering sashimi grade tuna @ $35/kg in 150 stores in NSW/VIC/QLD
https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2020-04-22/coronavirus-for…
But, have anyone actually found it?
I've been looking for it in a few stores, all I see is "fresh yellow fin tuna" steak at the Deli for the same price of $35/kg
They are not individually packed, and placed next to, overlapping with other fresh salmon steak
The lady kindly told me, nope, they are not for raw consumption.
So where can I find it in Melbourne SE?

News says high grade tuna but doesn't actually say sashimi grade.

    It does say they’re sitting in warehouses unable to be sold.
    It doesn’t say those high grade sashimi are the same as the yellowfin tuna sold at Coles.

Meh. Wife told me about out this. Lost in translation.

We went to our local Coles yesterday and couldn't find it.

YMMV

Saw it at coles Southland this morning, stuffed in between other fish varities on the open air ice - as a lover of sashimi, theres not a chance I'd be going at it raw.

  Sashimi grade fish means the fish has been deep frozen for period of time to kill parasites such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisakis
