Is tuna considered meat fish or poultry?

Answer:

Tuna is not considered meat or poultry. It is actually a fish. You may be confused because stores do sell tuna sometimes as a tuna steak. It is also a pink color which may resemble beef. However, this color derives from the fishes' myoglobin. Tuna is indeed a fish.
