Albacore is the only tuna allowed to be labeled “white meat”? While you may know it best for its excellent reputation in a can, albacore has also made quite a name for itself in fresh and frozen markets. Average market weight of the streamlined, torpedo-shaped fish is between 10 and 30 pounds. Like other tuna varietals, the albacore is blue and silver, but can be differentiated by its longer pectoral fins. This schooling fish is caught in subtropical and tropical waters, by trollers and longliners, worldwide.
