Also known as: White Tuna
The Canadian albacore tuna is one of our national treasures. Found in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, albacore is one of the best-known varieties of tuna and one of the smallest, with an average commercial weight of about 13 kg. Also known as 'white tuna,' this species stands out for its exquisite, mild flavour and firm texture.
With a delicate balance of flavours that are subtly rich yet refreshingly light, albacore tuna offers a clean, almost buttery sensation on the palate. Whether you're craving a simple tuna salad, a hearty tuna steak, or sushi, this fish is versatile enough to elevate any dish.
Found anywhere from the surface to the ocean floor 300 m below, this mild, slightly sweet fish can be used in almost any fish recipe.
