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.

twice a week to get the essential fatty acids. Here at our house, we only eat
