Albacore tuna is a tuna species found throughout the world’s warm and tropical waters. Albacore tuna is also known as longfin tuna in fishing circles. Albacore tuna is lighter in color and firmer than other species of tuna. The color and texture of albacore make it a favorite for canning and smoking, but there are other ways of creating delicious meals with albacore tuna steaks and loins. Albacore is also much milder in flavor than different types of tuna and is an excellent choice for introducing yourself to eating tuna.
