Wild Albacore White Tuna – Wild Salmon

Albacore white tuna (Thunnus alalunga), or long-finned tuna, takes its name from its very long pectoral fins. Firm, pale pink flesh with a delicate, slightly sweet flavour, rich in protein and Omega 3.

Available raw, blast-chilled immediately after catching, or cold-smoked by Wild Salmon in its own smokehouse in Turin with maple and beech wood, with no flavourings or liquid smoke.

In the kitchen: raw as sashimi with soy sauce and wasabi, or just seared on the grill with vegetables and extra virgin olive oil. Smoked, in thin slices for a refined aperitif. Pair with a fresh, mineral white wine such as a Vermentino or a Sauvignon Blanc.
