The albacore season is coming to an end with catches off Oregon and Washington continuing 6-weeks longer than in the previous two seasons in the Northwest. Look out for late-season albacore at your local market to freeze, preserve, smoke or can for the winter.

Or you could just eat it now.
The following is an excerpt from a recent article in New York Magazine.
After a peak summer season spent feasting on herring, sardines, and the occasional squid, local albacore tuna are at their fattiest best. The pale-pink flesh is the palest in color and mildest in flavor of all tuna varieties, but takes well to a sensational Japanese blackened-tuna-sandwich treatment that chef Andrew Carmellini gives the tuna at The Dutch restaurant in NYC.
