The Albacore is a fish that can be caught in the ocean at The Beach or on the Beach Farm during Fall and Winter in the early morning and at night. It may also randomly appear in Krobus' shop on Wednesdays for 
200g, or at the Traveling Cart for 225–1,000g.
Albacore can be caught regardless of time of day or season using Magic Bait.

Albacore can be used in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create the dyeable Sailor Shirt. 
It can be used in dyeing, serving as a blue dye at the dye pots, located in Emily's and Haley's house, 2 Willow Lane.
