Buy Albacore Tuna Online

Want premium albacore without a trip to the fish counter? Anderson Seafoods ships restaurant-grade tuna straight to your door, the same quality we provide to professional kitchens. Buy albacore tuna online and get firm, flavorful fish ready for the grill or the pan.

Fresh Albacore Tuna

Albacore is the only tuna sold as white-meat tuna in the United States, sometimes called "chicken of the sea" for its mild, delicate character. It carries a moderate-to-rich flavor and a firm, steak-like texture that holds up well to high heat. Our fresh albacore tuna is wild-caught in the waters of Hawaii, Fiji, and the South Pacific.

That firmness makes it one of the more forgiving tunas to cook. It sears cleanly, grills without falling apart, and works equally well baked or served as sashimi.

Where to Buy Fresh Albacore Tuna

Anderson Seafoods is the place to buy albacore tuna with confidence. Here's what sets our fish apart:

  • Wild-caught: Sourced from trusted Pacific waters using responsible practices.
  • Fresher than grocery: Our albacore typically arrives 3 to 8 days ahead of what's sitting in a supermarket case.
  • Food-safety credentials: Our facilities are USDC-inspected and run on strict HACCP protocols, a benchmark only about 2% of food companies meet.
  • Quality you can trust: A family business since 1979, known across the industry for the fish we put out.

Grilled Pepper Crusted Albacore Tuna

Servings: 2 persons

Ingredients:

  • 2 (5-ounce) fillets of albacore tuna
  • Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Directions:

  • Pre-heat a stovetop grill pan or outdoor BBQ grill.
  • Dry the albacore fillets well and brush lightly with olive oil. Combine the pepper and salt on a shallow plate. Press the fillets into the salt and pepper mixture to coat.
  • Coat the fillets lightly for less pepper or press firmly into the salt and pepper for a hotter, more peppery result.
  • Grill for 2 minutes per side. Remove and serve with lemon wedges and parsley.
  • Scatter the dill, avocado and sliced radishes over the top and serve with the pumpernickel bread toasts.

  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced or grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions :

  • Cover the bowl, or transfer the fish and marinade to a large zip-top bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or longer.
  • Prepare a hot grill, or heat a heavy cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade.
