I was very fortunate to be part of the ohana on alantani and have friends all over the world, this time I received mail from Washington State from our amigo Ted and also mail from California sent by Steve (crabpot), Ted send me some of his delicious Albacore with jalapeño, salt and salmon samples, duuuude, amigo !! those are delicious, all of the different flavors were a hit!!
Steve sent me some jars of his version of canned Albacore chunks !! compa Steve that tuna was fantastic.
to tell the truth, my wife and I tried the Albacore without mixing it with any other ingredient, just poured the content of the bad into a deep plate and ate it directly with a fork along with a glass of white wine, same deal with the Albacore from Steve, some really good chunks came from those glass cans.
but, our youngest daughter asked Mom if she could prepare some Tuna patties using that fish, it sounded like a good idea.
I will just say that they're one of a kind, thanks Ted and thanks Steve to send that fish out till Baja, Mex. I really appreciated as well as my family, Albacore have a really sweet/mild flavor and no wonder everyone was crazy about it when you could catch them down in california waters.
I will leave some pictured of the Albacore tuna patties
nothing special, the regular ingredients and recipe for a comfort food full of Omega 3, we ate the albacore patties as cookies ^-^ ^-^ ;)
:) Fisherman know how to eat !!!!
Sure wish I had room for a retort machine.
Anytime Alijandro!
Glad you enjoyed it.
You should join us sometime. There is nothing like a wide-open Albacore bite.
I love the look of those patties, we call them fish cakes. Wife usually uses Yellowtail for that.

well, I have to search for the name that are normally know in USA, here in Mexico we call them "tortitas de pescado" or "gorditas de pescado", 80% of people use canned tuna but since I started on sport fishing we like to use spanish mackerel or yellowtail to made them, this time I had some fresh Albacore ^-^

that would me a dream come true, still on my bucket list along with catching some big Salmon
Something like this :d
I think I have posted this before.
this time I tried something different.
Ceviche with Ted's Albacore and Big Baja Blue Shrimps
pretty simple recipe, I dont like to use to many ingredients on my Ceviche, that way you can taste the fresh flavor of the fish on every bite.
so, no step by step recipe, just some pictures and you add the quantity at your own taste, I just missed in the picture 4 small green lemons.
man, I just ate 7 of those, Im full :-[ ^-^
thanks again Ted, if you havent tried this way, I recommend you to try it just one time
Steve, a week ago I made the same dish with your Albacore and 10/10 amigo, just no pictures
Now that's a meal fit for a king !!
You have some great culinary skills my friend. Keep em coming !!
You guys get beautiful shrimp there.

yep
its one of the big fisheries here, its actually the reason the small fishing town was founded, some people even call the shrimp season "blue gold rush" because the big beatiful "pacific blue shrimp" they catch.
some shrimps can get really big, the quality them as U8 or U10 (jumbo size)
thats my hand on the picture
My folks love those Baj Shrimp!
When they come up, they give us many pounds.
