Interesting Facts

Highly migratory species

Albacore fish are known for their extensive migratory patterns. They inhabit the open waters of tropical and temperate seas and can travel across entire oceans.

Distinctive pectoral fins

They are easily identified by their unusually long pectoral fins, which reach beyond the anal fin and give them their "longfin" nickname.

Popular in cuisine

Albacore is a prized species in commercial fishing due to its light-colored flesh which is considered more flavorful and valuable than that of other tunas, making it a preferred type for canned and sashimi products.
