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!

Did you know that albacore tuna inhabits the vast waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea? This widely-traveled fish is a popular choice for many, often found preserved in tins at your local grocery store. However, its culinary potential goes far beyond just being canned! Albacore can be delightfully seared in a skillet or enjoyed fresh in a vibrant poke bowl.
Here's a little tidbit that might catch your interest: in Japan, albacore is affectionately known as "Tombo," which means "Dragonfly." This nickname celebrates the tuna's remarkably long pectoral fins, which can extend up to 30% of its total body length, much like the elegant wings of a dragonfly.
So next time you’re planning a simple dinner or a fancy meal with friends, consider adding albacore tuna to your menu. Its mild flavor and tender texture make it incredibly adaptable to various dishes, enhancing your dining experience with every bite. Share the story of its unique Japanese nickname to spark up an engaging dinner table conversation! Whether it’s the star of the dish or a complementary side, albacore tuna is a delightful addition to any meal.
