Offal

Cod offal groups liver, milt, heart, and other organs—stronger and more specialised than white loin. Liver is the star for richness; milt for creaminess; heart for lean grill work. Handle ice-cold and cook the same day. Each organ needs its own method; do not treat the mix as interchangeable fillet trim.

History

Complete use of cod included organs as ordinary food in fishing societies.

Industrial processing sidelined most cod offal while muscle went to fillets and salt fish.

Whole-fish chefs returned mixed cod offal to limited menus.
