When you see something that says ‘white tuna’ and not ‘albacore,’ it is not albacore. When canned, white tuna, also known as albacore tuna, refers to the lighter flesh, and dark tuna, or light tuna, has darker flesh. Unlike some fish that have white flesh, tuna has muscle tissue that ranges from a very light pink that is almost white in color to a dark red.


Albacore tuna is dubbed as the second largest commercial catch in the U.S., after the yellowfin tuna. This is probably the reason why it's more expensive that regular tuna. The flavor is mild it has a very mild fish flavor. It is white to light pink in color and has a fairly firm texture. After finishing I daydreamed about the next time I would be able to prepare this dish.The only species of fish that can be called “White Tuna” is Albacore. I played fast and loose with measurements - don’t be shy with the garlic or acids. So easy, and perfect for a hot summer evening with a nice rose. We used TJ's albacore in olive oil, and drizzled the leftover oil over the top. You need good summer garden tomatoes, good sourdough. OMG! That's what we said at the first bite. Can someone please put out a cookbook of "toast" dinner recipes? Sounds and looks delicious but do we really need a recipe to boil an egg? All of the flavors in this recipe come together so nicely. I couldn't get enough! I have been a tomato hater my whole life, but this simple trick of marinating them in lemon juice was a game changer. This quickly became my "go to" recipe over the summer. Even with winter cherry tomatoes this was great. This is so delicious!! I splurged for the "good" tuna and, while it is lovely, don't think it is really worth it. Glad I accidentally picked up the recommended tuna and stumbled across this recipe. Lots of ingredients but totally worth it. be sure to get a bread large enough to hold all the toppings or it will get too crowded. We had this for dinner on the first day of February 2021, in snowy Ohio and we feel like we are in the Mediterranean. We used trefin tuna that we received as a Christmas gift and it put this recipe over the top. This recipe is delicious! It is definitely a keeper. My only critique is that there are a lot of moving parts for a quick toast meal but I'm already thinking of ways to simplify it. The toppings were too numerous and unwieldy for just a single slice of toast per person so I split it out into two each and that was more manageable. Very good, though.ĭelicious with late summer tomatoes and some oil-packed mackerel (I didn't have any oil-packed tuna). I might mix it all into a salad and serve over greens, or eat with a knife and fork, but I had to wash my hands with soap and water after eating this. This was delicious, but way too messy for a toast. Cover and chill.Ĭolourful on the plate - a wonderul side or appetizer Step 6ĭo Ahead: Paprika mayonnaise can be made 2 days ahead.
