Albacore, Wild PNW Sashimi Grade Tuna (Shiro Maguro)

Albacore (Thunnus alaunga) is the only tuna species which may be marketed as “white meat tuna” in the U.S. When prepared for sushi, it is known as shiro maguro.

Albacore offers a rich yet mild flavor profile and desirable texture that’s firm like other tunas but less so than Ahi. Harvested from the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest, this albacore boasts a higher fat content than Ahi or our local albacore/tombo. Its richer taste and melt-in-your mouth texture that makes it an excellent less expensive alternative to bluefin toro.

Suitable for a variety of preparation methods both cooked and raw, this catch is idea for sashimi, sushi, crudo, confit or searing in a skillet or on the grill. When cooked, its pink meat turns white and provides dense texture with large, moist flakes.

Please note that this product is sold by the piece and each piece is approximately 1.1 lbs.

The Fishery

Our sashimi grade albacore is harvested from the U.S. Northern Pacific at “the cold-water edge,” where the warm tropical water meets cold arctic currents. “Surface Catch” out of these areas produces some of the highest oil content albacore tuna in the world. Fish are brought aboard the vessel live, immediately bled and Frozen at Sea (FAS) by being placed in blast freezers within minutes of being caught. In the blast, heat is quickly extracted, and the core temperature of the whole fish is pulled down to a minimum of – 20° F. Stringent handling and rapid freezing guarantee this product is of the highest sashimi-grade quality.

Sustainability

This particular sashimi grade Pacific albacore is certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard, a science-based set of requirements for sustainable fishing.

Fish Lovers Box

Fish Lover’s Sampler Box

Seafood is considered an excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and heart-healthy fatty acids. The FDA recommends eating a healthy, balanced diet that includes at least two portions of fish a week, including one oily fish. Modeled after our founder’s method of eating one red fish, one white fish and one orange fish per week, our Fish Lover’s Box features:

  • Ahi or Bluefin (3 lbs) wild caught, sushi / sear grade*
  • White fish (4 lbs), wild caught (not sushi grade) **
  • Salmon (3 lbs) farmed, sushi grade

In total you will receive 10 pounds of fish! The quantity of each fish is provided in 1lb portions. Typically 3/4 to 1 lb of fish serves 2-3 people, but feel free to adjust according to your needs. For your convenience, each portion of fish in our Fish Lover’s Box is cut in house, then Proton Frozen and vacuum sealed to maintain freshness quality, flavor, and texture.

* If planning to enjoy some of your tuna raw as sashimi, sushi, or poke, we recommend doing so within a week. Some species, like tuna, naturally turn brown once exposed to air or if stored in a traditional freezer. Proton freezing technology slows this process but does not prevent it. Once tuna begins to brown on the outside, it is best suited for searing, grilling, or other cooking methods.

** The species of white fish may vary per order dependent on inventory and seasonality, but within a single order the 4lbs will be the same species.

Defrosting: Place a packaged frozen portion in cold water for 15 to 30 minutes, until thawed. Remove from packaging, then pat dry, and enjoy. Alternatively, remove frozen fish from packaging, wrap with a paper towel and place in the refrigerator to defrost overnight.
