Liver

Liver of Yellowtail 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 yellowtail liver iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave rare when quality allows for seared or raw service). Sashimi, tataki, and grilled collars suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame buttery firm white-pink flesh.
