North Atlantic Albacore Tuna

The stock is not overfished.

Not subject to overfishing.

Regulations are in place to minimize bycatch.

Mild, rich taste.

Firm texture and large, moist flakes. Albacore meat is not as dense or firm as bluefin tuna, so it’s not as well-suited for sashimi.

Lightest-colored meat of all the tunas – it can range from light beige to almost brown when raw, but becomes off-white when cooked. When canned, it’s the only tuna meat allowed to be labeled “white meat.”

Low in fat and cholesterol with the most omega-3 fatty acids of any of the tuna species.
