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!

Albacore tuna might usually bring to mind those familiar tin cans, but there's a whole world of flavor waiting beyond the pantry shelf. This fish is a true gem from the oceans, spanning the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Oceans, and even the Mediterranean. With its mild taste and firm, meaty texture, albacore is perfect for a variety of cooking methods. You might want to try pan-searing it; this method really enhances that natural richness and gives you a nice, crispy exterior. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, serve it up raw in a poke bowl. Its subtle flavor is a perfect canvas for a mix of fresh ingredients. Here's a little nugget of trivia: albacore is referred to as "Tombo" in Japan, meaning "Dragonfly." This unique nickname is due to its long pectoral fins, which can stretch out to about 30% of its body length, somewhat like a dragonfly's wings. So, whether it's for a casual dinner or a get-together with friends, albacore is a solid choice that pairs well with a range of spices and sides. Give it a shot—you might just discover a new favorite!
