Albacore Tuna

Albacore tuna have torpedo-shaped bodies with dark metallic blue backs, and silver on the sides and belly. The first dorsal fin is dark yellow and the second dorsal fin is pale yellow. They have very long pectoral fins and a crescent-shaped, deeply forked tail. Tunas have firm, thick fillets and a mild meaty flavour. Cutlets and steaks can be cooked by grilling, barbecuing, baking, smoking, poaching or marinating.
