Boil tuna in water just until cooked but not falling apart. (Cooks very quickly). Seasonings (bouquet garni) can be added to the water, but not necessary. Drain and discard water. Cool the tuna and refrigerate for one hour.
When tuna is cool, remove skin and bones from the fish. In a large bowl combine tuna broken into large pieces, with onion rings, garlic, parsley and celery. Mix lightly.
In a small bowl mix vinegar, oil, sweetener if used, cayenne, salt, pepper, mix well and pour over tuna. Mix well being careful not to break the tuna apart. Marinate 6 – 12 hours in refrigerator. Turn every few hours.
