There are six distinct stocks of albacore tuna across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Though albacore is often found in grocery stores tinned, you can enjoy this fish pan-seared or even raw as poke!
Fun fact! Tombo means “Dragonfly” in Japanese, a nod to the albacore’s long pectoral fins that can reach up to 30% of the albacore’s length!

Meet the Albacore Tuna, a true globe-trotter of the sea. This adventurous fish freely swims across the vast waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, and even ventures into the Mediterranean Sea. While you may be familiar with its presence in canned goods on supermarket shelves, there is so much more to this versatile creature.
Try it lightly seared in a pan, and you'll discover its subtly sweet flavor and delicate texture that can elevate any dinner plate. Or, if you're feeling more adventurous, why not try it raw as the star ingredient of a refreshing poke bowl?
Now, here's a fun nugget of trivia for you - in Japanese, Albacore Tuna is called 'Tombo', which translates to 'Dragonfly'. Seems like an odd moniker for a fish, right? But once you observe the Albacore Tuna's unique pectoral fins, which can stretch to almost 30% of its body length, you'll see the striking resemblance to the wings of a dragonfly. So, the next time you sit down to enjoy a dish featuring Albacore Tuna, impress your dining companions with this intriguing piece of trivia. It will surely add an extra dash of delight to your meal.
