Riviera Seafood Club's Fresh Albacore ('Binnaga Maguro' in Japanese) is a staple to the seafood diet. Our Albacore tuna are long-line caught in the wild, and then offloaded locally in California.

Albacore is typically a more lean tuna, often seared lightly or cooked quickly so as not to dry out.  A simple fish, easy to approach and with a hint of light umami to wash over your taste buds, complemented by a semi-soft texture.

Each piece is perfectly cut as a Saku (or Block), individually packed and shipped using overnight delivery to your door.

Time your defrost process to a couple of hours before your meal for the optimal outcome.
