I think that TWISTEDBADGER is on the right track. Fresh fish is so much different than canned, prepared stuff. Tuna is especially different because of its texture, which makes it very easy to eat raw. A lot of fish is tough when not cooked, but tuna is silky.
It's easy to cook, too. You just need to find good fish. Ideally it should be deep reddish-purple. See if you can find a reputable fishmonger. If you do find really good fish, all you have to do is fire up a pan (or the grill) really, really hot. Put the fish in for about 1.5-2 minutes on a side. The inside will remain red and moist. Serve it with a small amount of soy or teryaki sauce.
I'm drooling....
Mapye Jadey should find a restaurant that serves seared tuna. A sushi place would be even better, but may not be an option.
I won't eat canned tuna, either, but I lust after the huge blocks of tuna I see on TV... mmm..
I'm going to need to hit my sushi place soon...
