Blackfin Tuna (I think) and Albacore ("White Meat Tuna") most
assuredly have white flesh. Not as white as some fish, but
more white than pink.
I think tuna collect heavy metals because they are near the
top of the food chain. Y'know, concentration at each link
and all.
Does anyone know of any differences between heavy metal content
in Yellowfin Tuna ("Chunk Light") and Albacore? I already know
Albacore get nowhere near as big as Yellowfin.
