    Any liver is good liver! However, I wonder what sort of toxins accumulate in a fishes liver from polluted waters?

    Good point Pug.

    But with all the drugs given to cattle now days, it’s hard to believe any liver is good liver.

    Taken off their website…

    The legend of the livers …

    Peruse the memorabilia on our walls and enjoy some whitefish liversIn the 1940’s Victor Greunke made local culinary history by daring to place on the menu of Greunke’s Inn a favorite of the local fisherman: whitefish livers!

    He served them batter-dipped and lightly fried on a bed of lettuce with lemon wedges, home-made tarter sauce, and golden toast points. People here remember this large robust man strolling his restaurant shouldering platters of the livers offering them to the uninitiated, and, it is said, winning converts right and left.

    Whitefish livers are in high demand in Bayfield. Greunke’s is famous for their lightly fried delicious whitefish livers. People that love them say they dream of them. Others say they can’t get enough. True “whitefish liver lovers” will travel many miles for a taste. It’s not uncommon to receive a call from as far away as Chicago requesting a table and reserving Whitefish Liver Dinners for 4.

    Ready to try them?

    They are good. I have eaten Monkfish liver (cooked) as sushi. Also very good.
