Centre Cut

Centre-cut fillet is the middle block of albacore fillet—balanced thickness between head-end bulk and tail taper. It is the practical everyday portion for two even steaks or a neat roast. Cook as you would loin: sear or bake to medium at most. Predictable thickness simplifies timing on a busy line. Freeze flat in portions for weeknight use.
