Offal

Offal of Tuna includes heart, liver, and related organs for regional cookery. Clean carefully; cook the same day. Strong flavours need simple seasoning. Keep tuna offal iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave a rare centre on quality loins for steaks and sashimi). Sashimi, searing, canning, and poke suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense steak-like muscle.
