What are the differences between albacore tuna and yellowfin tuna?
The main distinction between light tuna and white tuna is that the flesh of white tuna is lighter and more delicate compared to that of light tuna, as well as having a softer texture.
Unlike albacore tuna, yellowfin tuna is characterized by a pinker and less delicate flesh. At first glance, it may resemble bonito in appearance, however, the main difference between the two species is in the light tuna’s pectoral fins, which are shorter and have a yellowish hue.
In addition to their physical characteristics, there is a major difference between these two species: their size. While a light tuna can weigh more than 50 kilos, an adult albacore tuna usually weighs no more than 15 kilos.
The variety of tuna known as “bonito del Norte” is considered the highest quality for canning. On the other hand, light tuna, which is of intermediate quality, is the most commonly caught tuna species used for canning.
