About Albacore

Albacore is a species of tuna used as a food fish. It is sold fresh or frozen as steaks and other cuts, and is also commonly canned. Fresh albacore can be grilled, baked, or otherwise cooked; canned albacore is ready to use in salads, sandwiches, and cooked dishes. These forms differ substantially in preparation and texture.

The flesh is pale compared with many other tunas and has a firm, meaty texture with a relatively mild flavour. Fresh cuts vary in colour and firmness, while canned fish may be packed in water or oil and flake more readily. The record names the fish, not a particular cut or preserved product.
