Offal

Fish

Offal

Mackerel offal groups liver and other organs—strong, oily, and only for very fresh fish and adventurous cookery. Liver is the main organ of interest; clean carefully. Many cooks skip offal and keep muscle and roe only. Brief cooking; pair with acid. When in doubt, compost and use fillets.
