Various Cuts We Offer

WHOLE ROUND

This refers to the fish in its entirety, just as it comes out of the water. No parts have been removed, and it's essentially in its natural state.

HEADED & GUTTED

The fish's head is removed, and it's also gutted, meaning the internal organs are taken out. This leaves the main body, including the tail, intact.

GILL & GUTTED

The fish has had its gills and internal organs removed. This is a common preparation method to increase the fish's shelf life and make it ready for cooking without further cleaning.

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.
