🐟Albacore

Thunnus alalunga (Bonnaterre, 1788)

ビンナガ（鬢長、学名：Thunnus alalunga）は、サバ目・サバ科に分類される魚の一種。全世界の熱帯・温帯海域に分布する小型のマグロで、缶詰などに用いられる重要な食用魚である。 「マグロ」をつけてビンナガマグロ、または「長」を音読みしビンチョウ、ビンチョウマグロとも呼ばれる。異名としてトンボマグロ、シビマグロ、他の地方名としてビナガ（宮城南部）、ビンチョ（宮城北部）、カンタロウ、カンタ（三重）、トンボ、トンボシビ（関西・高知）などもある。旨味が少ないマグロとされるが、適切な塩水処理を行えば、ねっとりとしたマグロの食感も得られ、美味である。 アメリカの日本人・日系人コミュニティーでは、英語名の「Albacore tuna」から「アバコ」とも呼ばれ、寿司ダネとしても親しまれている。
