What it is

Each pack contains approximately 200 grams of tuna.
How people cook with it
Tuna steaks are a popular choice for a quick and healthy meal. They can be cooked in a variety of ways to suit your preference.
- Pan-seared for a quick dinner
- Grilled for a smoky flavor
- Cubed for salads
- Marinated and baked
To prepare, remove the tuna steaks from their packaging. For pan-searing, heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for more well-done. Grilling involves placing the steaks directly on a preheated grill for a similar cooking time. You can also marinate the tuna in your favorite sauce or dressing before cooking. Ensure the tuna is cooked through to your liking.
How it differs from similar foods
Albacore tuna is a white-fleshed tuna, which distinguishes it from darker tuna varieties like yellowfin or skipjack. Its texture is typically firmer and the flavor is more delicate, making it a good option for those who prefer a milder fish taste. The line-caught method also signifies a difference in fishing practice.
How to keep the rest
Keep the unopened package refrigerated. Once opened, consume the tuna steaks within 2 days. If you do not plan to cook them immediately, they can be frozen for longer storage. Thaw them in the refrigerator before cooking.
