I agree.  Maybe fresh yellowfin or skipjack is sold as albacore?  Pete

Some years high amounts of yellowfin are caught, other years high amounts of skipjack are caught. "White meat" tuna can only be albacore tuna. I have never heard of a problem with yellowfin or skipjack tuna being sold for albacore. Did I somehow miss the point?
