Characteristics

Albacore is shedding its image as just a canned tuna (we do carry a delicious canned option that’s MSC certified!). With a mild flavor, Albacore cooks up firm and moist with nice large flakes. It’s actually quite fatty, with the highest omega-3 of all tuna species.


For Your Menu

Excellent grilled, seared, oil poached, roasted – albacore is as versatile as other tunas.


For Your Waitstaff

Your customers will love albacore’s mild flavor and firm texture! It’s a great, nutritious lean protein choice for people looking to eat lean.


For Your Retail Display

Encourage your customers to pick up some extra Albacore – leftovers make amazing tuna salad!
