i know this sounds nutty since canned tuna is cooked but you read it right.i have a extreme fear of food poisoning so i dont trust other people who touch my food much.

Anyways, i wanted to know how to cook tuna fish until you can kill any listera or the other food poisoning that can apply (i forgot what the kind you get from fish and tuna from)

do you boil it in water? for how long?
 
You really don't have to worry about canned tuna... but if you must, just nuke it for 45 seconds on high - that will kill any bacteria. Or bake it to 145F. The thing is, cooking it won't destroy any possible toxins in the tuna and THAT is the real danger with seafood.
 
You honestly don't have to cook canned Tuna. You can add it to food kits that require cooking like Tuna Helper.

If you want to cook raw Tuna steaks from the Seafood Department at ur local Grocery Store then ask the Seafood Clerk. I love Tuna and sometimes I sear (medium rare) it it in Olive oil and Old Bay or whatever seasoning I want. You just cook it until it is no longer pink...which is about under five minutes tops (well done). I was told by a Sushi Chef that "fresh Tuna" is frozen at some seriously High degree and that degree literally KILLS any bacteria or parasite or whatever it is that ur afraid of.
 
You cook tuna like a steak. grill it or pan fry it to a MEDIUM doneness and serve it immediately, Don't overcook it or it will be tougher than shoe leather.
