Fish
Liver
Liver of Walleye 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 walleye liver iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Pan-frying, shore lunches, and baking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame fine white flake.
