Simple,
quick yet elegant, this recipe brings out the delicate flavor of
Pacific troll-caught albacore. We suggest serving herb-broiled albacore
with steamed new red potatoes and Brussels sprouts lightly sprinkled
with olive oil, basil and just a hint of garlic. Serve with white
wine and crusty French bread.

important to eat fish at least twice a week to get the essential
