Collar

Ling collar is the fatty-gelatinous cut behind the gills where head meets body—richer than loin, excellent grilled or roasted until the edges crisp and the centre stays moist. Bones run through; eat like a chicken wing of the sea, picking meat from cartilage. Season boldly; the cut stands up to char and miso or herb marinades. Limited yield makes collars a special when available from whole-fish breakdown.
