Went there yesterday and bought sashimi quality ahi tuna. The gentleman serving us told us it was sashimi quality and we said that was how we would enjoy it. They iced it well, we got it home and sliced it sashimi style. I could tell it wasn't moist and the texture was spongy. I took and a small bite and chewed lightly before spitting it out. It was spongy, dry and fishy. I could not rinse the foul taste from my mouth so I had to brush my teeth to get rid of it. I immediately called See's and spoke to the owner, Sandy. She was very argumentative and immediately said we don't refund fish once it leaves the shop. Really? Your customers are expected to unwrap their purchases and sample their raw seafood before they leave to ensure freshness and quality? She said she would take the tuna to her son to sample. HERE IS HER TEXT RESPONSE TO ME:
"The tuna was a little fishy to Donald. He seared it on both sides and said it was good. For the price of that tuna coming in every Thursday at $15 that is the BEST that See's can do. The best info for another grade # 1 Sushi Tuna loin 10# skin/on bloodline/IN FIJI $29.67 per pound. However in Ft Smith the one i carry is what Ft Smith can afford "
She acknowledges the fish was off (fishy). What scares the hell out of me is that she acknowledges selling a lesser quality of tuna, yet touts it as sashimi quality since her customers won't pay the higher price. Wow, just wow! I'm reporting them to the FDA as my conscience wont allow me not to. This could have seriously made my family ill, or worse.
Sandy, you can't sell a lesser quality of fishy tuna and tout it as sashimi quality. You can seriously harm someone's health. Shame on you. Since you refuse to do the right thing and credit my account, I will now dispute the charge with my credit card company. Just as soon as I report you to the FDA.
Furthermore, because I am very displeased with the situation of being sold unhealthy sashimi, she has threatened to report me to her uncle, Judge Cox and her lawyer. Lady, how do you even run a business to think I've done something wrong by refusing to eat unhealthy fish and wanting a refund? read more
