White tuna
White tuna is fish eaten in Japanese cuisine or Korean cuisine:
- Albacore tuna, Thunnus alalunga - the pale-fleshed tuna favoured by the canning industry, also known as shiro maguro, bin-naga maguro, or bincho maguro
- Escolar, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum - which is a snake mackerel, is not tuna. Escolar, though commonly mislabeled as "white tuna", is a different family of fish. This fish is common in Korea. But it's put under ban of sale and not common in Japan. So Escolar isn't used with the Japanese cuisine.
