Spanish term
bonito del norte
Does anyone know the exact translation for this into English (UK)? It's for a restaurant menu.
I see many examples on the web, but with so many different renderings I don't know which one is correct...
Many thanks

Many thanks to all of you.
I've just been down to the corner shop and found a tin that said 'bonito del norte (atún blanco)' on it, so I´m going to go with this one.
Gracias! "

longfin tunny/ albacore
the latin name is *thunnus alalunga* and the first ref gives a photo of the fish. This page also gives its name in English as "albacore".
The second ref is the species sheet from FIGIS, which gives loads of info about the fish, including common names in major world languages.
If you browse this third ref (listing common names by country from fishbase)
http://www.fishbase.org/comnames/CommonNamesList.cfm?ID=142&...
you'll see that atún blanco=albacora=bonito del norte is albacore or longfin tuna/tunny in English, depending on the country.
However, having said all of this, I don't think the average person in the UK would know what albacore is
- take your pick

(Bay of) Biscay white tuna / bonito (tuna)
Just an idea. I don't think there's one "right" way to say it. Here are some varieties. I've seen just "bonito" on menus.

Fishbase gives albacore. Don't know why that didn't occur to me sooner.
