Is that kindergarten tuna or the 12th grade tuna? Thanks in advance!

I think you'd better stick with the "Preschool grade". It's likely the most advanced that you can handle. You're welcome.

You're so cute when you're mad, Fanny.

Surely there's predigested, low sodium tuna for the geriatrics?

Well Al's older than dirt, which makes him geriatric by any definition. Therefore, the sashimi grade of tuna that Al eats, is the geriatric version.
Some of the richest tuna fishing grounds in the world are off the Galapagos Islands. It's also the furthest north penguins are found in large colonies. Both are due to the cold waters of the Humboldt Current which peter out in the region of the Galapagos. Fishermen in the Galapagos are said to have been using trained penguins for generations to dive into vast schools of tuna, clamping down the fish, and swimming back to the boat where the birds regurgitate their catch to their owners, as they do with their chicks in the wild. The bird then goes back in water and after more tuna.
In the late 60's with mercury becoming more prevalent in tuna caught in the waters off Japan, the Japanese fishing interests had to look for other sources for the booming sushi trade, which demanded a high grade product. They headed to the Galapagos. After some conflict with Ecuadoran authorities the Japanese agreed to buy all of their tuna from the Ecuadorans themselves. The Ecuadorans kept their traditional Galapagos tuna fishery safe, and found a huge market in Japan for their high quality tuna with it's very distinctive taste, texture, and smell.
My guess is, and this only a guess, that sashimi, which is considered very high quality, would have to meet the Japanese standards to meet the demands of foodies here who demand authenticity. That means it very likely goes straight from the penguins gullet and into your stores.
I hope Al doesn't see this before he's had a chance to take his afternoon meds. If he starts yelling, "Soylent Green is people!", give me a heads up? It's the Fansomian distress cry. I'll send Dr. Zaius over with the wagon to pick him up.

Poor Al. I've found out that sashimi grade tuna is full of parasites and toxins. No doubt that what causes his episodes of brain bubbles are the larvae that reside between his ears and his odor caused by different types of worms that live in his gut, all fighting over very limited resources.
If you're going to look for sashimi grade tuna look for the little penguin sticker. The pre-digestive juices in the penguins gullet kill the parasites in the fish. Remember when eating any raw fish the rule is straight off the boat, refrigerated, and most importantly, penguin caught.
Will I get a word of thanks from the old ingrate over this lifesaving information? I doubt it. You pull a guy's sushi out of the fire for decades and they come to expect it. I've ruined him with kindness and coddling.

Where have you been, Outhouse? Your studio is still out behind the barn. I limed it in April to keep the smell down. As for Al's love of fish it's in his "Spicy Tuna Salad" post on the food section. When it comes to Al being little, I just penned a song to him. It's basically to the tune of Otis Redding and The Pinetoppers, "Fat Girl". The first line goes like this; "I've got a pal, six feet four, runs around the house bustin' out the doors, Fat Al....Oh-oh, Fat Al..."

Hank Hill couldn't have said it better, U.N. Now that the catfish are off the nest, I may try some of that convenience store sushi on them in the shallow flats after dark? It ought to work well if a fella leaves in a covered bucket in the hot sun to ripen up a few days. The stuff comes pre-wrapped in seaweed, so it should stay on the hook with no trouble. I think the big flatheads will love it.
