Thunnus alalunga
Also known as Tombo
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!
Sustainability status for this species is published by NOAA Fisheries.
Safe to eat raw?
Yes. However, please do not consume raw fish if you are pregnant.
How to cook
Pan-sear, grill, poke
