How to Know When Tuna Is Done?

Grab a meat thermometer and make sure the internal temperature reads 140-145 degrees for well done. Or if you want a medium rare, go for 125 degrees.

You will find that many prefer to eat tuna at different internal temperatures. The biggest thing is to make sure you cook your tuna to a safe degree.

Storing Leftovers

If you don’t eat all your tuna you can store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days. You will find that fish can spoil faster, so always use your best judgement in terms of quality. If stored improperly you will find it can go bad. So ensure it is a sealed container and at proper temperature.
