Recipe for Albacore Tuna
This tuna is line caught by a Cornish boat off the coast of Spain. Apparently we have a quota there which is currently being fished. It is also known as longfin due to its long pectoral fins and it is tagged. It is a pinky grey colour with a flakier texture than yellow fin tuna. Cook as for yellow fin tuna, i.e. quickly in a hot pan. Do not poach.
Ingredients:
- Sauce:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tbsp orange marmalade
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- salt and black pepper
- fresh orange rind to garnish (optional)
In a large frying pan or shallow pan mix all the sauce ingredients. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and add the fish. Cook for 6-8 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish) turning once. Serve with noodles or rice.
