Offal

Bluefin offal (heart, liver, and other viscera) is specialist cookery only—organs spoil faster than muscle and need impeccable freshness. Most retail streams discard them. Heart can be sliced and seared; liver is strong and rare. Conservation-sensitive; buy traced fish; raw service is the luxury use. When unsure, discard.
