Fish
Collar
Albacore collar is the cut behind the head and gills—fatty, bony, and full of flavour, similar to hamachi kama on other tuna-family fish. Flesh tucks between bones and crisps at the edges when grilled. It is a favourite of cooks who break down whole fish. Grill or broil hard with salt and citrus; eat off the bone. Not a boneless fillet substitute—expect to pick meat. Yield is modest but satisfaction is high.
