Ships Ahoy, Albacore

Posted by: CC Bakes


There are a few things in America that are new to me; ramps (like a spring onion or wild leek, a member of the onion family), yams (starchy sweet potato from the fruit of the earth family), and albacore. Albacore is a type of tuna with a long fin, the meat is specifically white. The visually identifying features are the pectoral fins of the albacore, which can be as much as 50% of the total length of the fish.

I was curious, and have eaten all three of these (but not for the first time) in the last few days. This sea faring albacore and cabbage salad was one successful meal for one. The colour of it is great, the light, dark, and bright colours. I threw in some cherry tomatoes and crumbled seaweed sheets too, to really get that deep sea feel. I squeezed some lemon juice, poured white wine vinegar and olive oil over the top, and then sprinkled some gomasio – sesame seeds, seaweed and sea salt.

Another delicious taste of what comes every Tuesday from CC Bakes.
