About Fish, tuna, white, canned in oil, without salt, drained solids

Albacore (Thunnus alalunga) is a tuna species recognized by its unusually long pectoral fins and the only tuna whose cooked flesh is pale enough to be sold as white meat tuna. Lighter in color and milder in flavor than other tunas, it has a firm yet tender texture and a clean, delicate taste that has made it the premium choice in cans. Albacore is an excellent source of lean protein and is especially rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, along with vitamin B12, selenium, niacin, and vitamin D.

Most familiar as solid white canned tuna for sandwiches, melts, salads, and casseroles, it is also seared fresh as steaks, grilled, and served rare. Fresh albacore, sometimes called tombo, is a favorite for the grill because its higher fat content keeps it moist. Keep canned albacore in the pantry, and store fresh steaks well chilled, using them within a day or two, since the rich flesh is best enjoyed fresh.
