Tuna varieties include: the bluefin, yellowfin, skipjack, bigeye, bonito, blackfin, and the albacore. Albacore tuna are open-sea hunters, whose main source of food is cephalopods (squid). They dive over 400 meters underwater when searching for food. Bigeye and yellowfin tuna primarily eat fish. Albacore is the only tuna among the seven types that is hailed as having the truest white meat. Albacore contains more omega 3 fatty acids than other types of Tuna. The FDA recently reported that albacore has lower mercury levels than other tuna products. Adding fillers like soy, water and vegetable broth may degrade the full taste of the albacore. What is the MSC? The Marine Stewardship Council is an international non-profit organization established to address the problem of unsustainable fishing and safeguard seafood supplies for the future.
