Offal

Fish

Offal

Ling offal groups the edible organs—liver, heart, stomach, and related trimmings—used in traditional coastal cookery and modern nose-to-tail menus. Liver is the richest; heart is muscular and needs careful cooking. Clean thoroughly and use only from very fresh fish. Sauté livers briefly, braise heart, or simmer organs into sauces. Strong flavours want acid and herbs. If freshness is uncertain, prefer muscle cuts only.

History

Coastal cooks used fish organs rather than wasting landed catch.

Nose-to-tail seafood menus revived interest in fish offal.
