Whats the difference between Tuna and Albacore?!

Answers:
A: "White" tuna is albacore tuna!. It has a milder flavor and whiter flesh than the tuna labeled "light," which can come from skipjack or yellowfin tuna!. Albacore or white tuna is slightly higher in calories and fat, but it may be the better choice!. Its extra fat is the type known as omega-3 fat, which can help protect against heart disease and cancer!. Light tuna provides some omega-3 fat, as do other fish such as haddock, but white tuna provides about three times as much!. However, if you are concerned about the mercury content in fish, light tuna has less!. According to the most recent FDA advisory, albacore tuna is safe to eat in moderation, but you should consume no more than six ounces of it a week!. Since albacore tuna is usually a little more expensive than light tuna, you can save money by purchasing "chunk" tuna, which has smaller pieces than "solid" tuna!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
In addition to your other informed answers I would like to add that Albacore is a much better quality product than the bargain tuna!. It's flavor is not metallic and "fishy" due to it being the "white" meat of the tuna world!. It's worth paying a bit more for because you will never be disappointed with it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
