Is tuna from a can actually raw though? I was actually wondering that the other day. I figured it must go through some kind of light cooking process of sorts to make it safe to eat. Then again real sushi (actual Japan/China sushi and not what we get here) is basically raw fish, so maybe certain animals are safe to eat raw?

You might want to check out a few of the other posts in the thread. You may be able to randomly pick one and likely land on the answer.

This guy's assuming that tuna in a can is cooked. Is raw I mean. That is crazy, tuna in a can is cooked. It's precooked. They cook it outside the can and they cook it. They cook it outside the can and they put it back inside. They put it inside a can and package it for consumers

Raw beef is just raw. And it's not cooked. So you're assuming that tuna in a can is... raw. But it's not. It's not the case at all no. No.

Great, now my head hurts.

Squirrels are safe to eat raw but only the grey ones. Red ones have poison glands that can be prepared by master sushi chefs. Otherwise you can die from an overdose of wedlock. And you want to make sure they have been caught in a safe manner so no porposies will die in nets.

It is.

Sushi fish is flash frozen to kill off anything living in the fish. I don't know where he is getting that asian sushi grade fish is somehow different from other countries sushi grade fish.
