Tuna is a great topper for a variety of dishes and Trader Joe's is making it easier to add this healthy protein with its new Sesame Crusted Hardwood Smoked Ahi Tuna.
Trader Joe's recently expanded its smoked fish lineup to include new Sesame Crusted Hardwood Smoked Ahi Tuna. The dish consists of sustainably sourced and wild-caught sashimi-grade tuna. The addition of a sesame crust adds a nuttiness that takes this fish to the next level. As Trader Joe's explains, "With the texture of smoked salmon, the meaty flavor of high-quality fresh tuna, the crunch of sesame and just a touch of mild smokiness, this Smoked Ahi Tuna is a uniquely delicious addition to our deli section."
