Fish

Whole

Whole albacore is the gutted or round fish as landed—long pectoral fins distinctive of the species. It is the form for auction, custom butchery, and small-boat landings rather than supermarket packs. Quality turns on bleed, ice, and time since catch. Break down into loins, belly, collar, and frame for stock. Whole roasted small albacore appears in some coastal cookery; large fish are almost always portioned first. Confirm freshness by clear eyes, bright gills, and clean sea smell.
