Liver

Liver of Zander 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 zander liver iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Pan-frying, poaching, and schnitzel fillets suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame firm sweet white flesh.
