🧊 Safety & Storage
Seafood recipes spoil faster — refrigerate max 3 days. Freeze in single-serving portions. Do not feed tuna exclusively long-term due to mercury concerns — rotate with other proteins. Serve at room temperature.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Tuna should be fed in moderation due to mercury content — rotate this recipe with other protein sources. Taurine supplementation remains critical. Substituting salmon with other fish changes the fatty acid profile.
