Fish
Heart
Albacore heart is a dense, dark muscular organ—slice thin and sear quickly like other fish hearts, or confit gently. Flavour is iron-rich and meaty, closer to land-animal heart than to loin. Absolute freshness is non-negotiable. Clean chambers of clots; slice across the grain. Not a common retail item; available when whole fish are processed in-house. Cook thoroughly enough for safety while keeping some moisture.
