Fish liver

Does anyone know of a market that will sell fish livers, and/or other innards? Any help would be appreciated.

Fresh Farms on Touhy may be able to help you, H- mart or Mitsuwa. Usualy the liver in question is Monk liver.-Dick

Try Isaacson & Stein - the sell many varieties of whole fish that they then gut for you after you select one. I would imagine they'd let you keep the guts. What are you planning with these innards?

Hi,

At Russian shops, they sell tins of cod liver.

At Chinese markets, they often have live fish. They kill and clean the fish before handing it off to the customer. The trick will be in convincing the guy to give you what you want. Between language barriers and disbelief (and potential legal issues??), it may take some patience to get it.

I once inquired how to cook a turtles at a Chinese grocery that had live turtles in tanks. I asked the same shop girl, "How to cook a turtle?"
Week 1: "They are sold as pets."
Week 2: "Old people eat them."
Week 3: I put the turtle in the cart, then went up to the very same girl, "How to cook a turtle?" She offered a detailed explanation.

Please report back on your experience.

Regards,

Isaacson and Stein was my first pick, they said yes on Wednesday bu no on Saturday. Health Department. I tried all the top fish guys, Dirks,Hagens,etc but no go. Went to Argyle and Broadway to check Vietnamese Markets, found one possible. HE only has catfish. Really want grouper or red snapper. Talked to a couple of restaurants, Raw Bar on Clark streer, great fresh fish, and he is checking for me. I know the owner. Found a distributor of sushi grade seafood in San Diego, they have monk fish liver and cod liver, waiting for a reply. Thanks for all the good suggestions.

Maybe try Supreme Lobster & Seafood in Villa Park.

I was staying at my brother's once at the same time that his in-laws were visiting from Korea. I'd met them before when I visited my brother when he was stationed in Korea. They don't speak any English. I remember quite an amazing array of dishes they put out for a dinner for us at their apartment. I expressed a liking for Korean food, with my sister-in-law acting as interpreter.

This morning at my brother's house in Virginia, I was up early, but 할머니 (Hahl-muh-nee, or Grandmother) had been up even earlier, and had gone for a walk in the woods behind the house. She was excited to show me what she'd found. She led me to a large empty flowerpot in the dining room. A live turtle was scrambling about inside. I could tell by Hahl-muh-nee's beaming expression that turtle was going to be on the menu for dinner.

Lucky you! How was it prepared? Did you like it?
