Liver

Liver of Wahoo is soft and rich—sear or confit, never overcook to chalk. Use as garnish or pâté base. As a liver section of offal, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep wahoo liver iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave rare when quality allows for seared or raw service). Grilling, searing, poke, and smoking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame large mild flake.
