[Edwardv46]

My friend just gave me a large elk liver, he knows I like beef liver, so what to you guys think I should do with this? I have never had elk liver, ideas?

Nice score. Deer and elk liver are way better than beef. I always cut into meal size chunks and freeze those packages for later, cause that thing is huge. As far as cooking, there's only one way. Bacon, oyions, S&P flour and quick fried 1/4 inch slices. Try not to cook to much and have leftovers. Leftover fried livers are absolutely nothing like fresh cooked. Oh yea, rice is always a good side with liver. hmmm is it time for my annual chicken liver with rice dinner?

Love me some liver... never had elk liver tho. And do what 206 sez aboot how to cook it

[crusty ol salt]

Looking forward to the pics

There’s a sausage called “hurka” that’s liver (usually pork) and rice. Just a thought.

Never liked it cooked straight up. Yet anyway.

I'd use it for fish bait

I ended up making it like I would normally do, sliced it about 1/4 thick, dredged it, fried it up with onions, best liver I have ever had.

step 1: rinse liver
step 2: soak overnight in buttermilk
step 3: cut into strips
step 4: load into bait tray of crab rings
step 5: throw crab rings into the bay
step 6: retrieve crab rings full of crabs
step 7: cook and eat crabs. Discard left over livers.



As you can probably tell I'm not a fan of liver.

Hmm, well make damn sure it's been frozen for a week or so before eating.
Liver flukes are no joke. Whole bunch of 'interesting' parasites are fond of hanging out in livers.

I do eat normal offal (pigs sheep, cows, chickens) - but not game offal - you just never know what been eating what you're eating.

If you're goig to eat it - freeze first which should kill most parasites.
make some pate - always a good use for liver.
there's also a dish we get in mallorca that has liver where the liver doesn't taste like liver (always a bonus). No idea what it's called - but worth a look :-)

Also as above with the crabbait - but for freshwater eels ! The best damn smoked fish ON THE PLANET !

I took out a couple of slices of liver out for someone the other day and they never came by. I had to do something with it and since my smoker was going to be running with pumpkin seeds anyway, I thought I’d try it. I scrimmaged around to see what I had for seasoning and ended up finding some mixed up MH salmon cure. Weird, I know.

It turned out delicious.

Be interested in hearing about that sounds interesting

Somehow I think I'm seeing a meal of smoked liver that's finished in a Campbell's French Onion soup bath in my future.
