Albacore Tuna 2lbs for $17

TASTE & FLAVOR: Albacore has a mild to medium flavor profile with firm flesh and large flakes. Like other tunas, it has a steak-like texture when cooked, but is a much softer fish than Ahi Tuna. It does however have a higher fat content which gives it a richness of taste.

PREPARATION: Our Albacore Tuna (Tombo) is great raw, BBQ-ed, or canned. Before you start we recommend you put the fish in the freezer for 5-10mins this will make the fish easier to cut and work with.
