Left package of Ahi Tuna in car overnight..

[vital]

I went to Costco to buy a bag of frozen Ahi Tuna and I left it in my car overnight. It's sealed and packaged and I dont notice any rotten smell except for some green glowing areas on the steak... is that normal? can I cook it and eat it?

I wouldn't, but exactly how long was it left in the car...

Is it really worth getting sick over?
Don't do it...

But don't listen to me, I am kind of crazy with stuff like that.

No don't eat it. Go to Costco and get a new bag of fish for $15.

You would thaw it out before cooking it normally, so what's the deal? Eat it.

18 hours in a car is not thawing

Yes, safely thawing in the fridge, not the trunk of a car.

If it was <45 degrees outside, you're good to go. Meaning it was still cold to the touch. ie, you defrosted it but kept it cool - basically your car was a refrigerator.

Otherwise - NO

Sucks, but you're better off.

You could let it sit for months in the car and still cook it. The question you really want to ask is whether you should cook and eat it, and the answer there is probably not.
