Our Preferred Preparation for Chicken Liver
Chicken liver is a culinary gem when prepared with care and a good chicken liver recipe. These are our favourites for unlocking its rich, complex flavours:
- Sautéed with Aromatics: Quickly sauteed chicken livers with finely chopped onions and a dash of garlic powder make a delicious meal. You can also deglaze the pan with a splash of brandy or Madeira wine. This method emphasizes the livers' buttery texture and rich flavour, making them a perfect topping for toast or a luxurious addition to pasta.
- Chicken Liver Pâté: For a classic spread, blend chicken liver with softened butter, fresh thyme, a touch of cream, and cognac. Strain to achieve a velvety, smooth texture. Serve chilled with crackers or rustic bread for an elegant appetizer.
- Grilled Over Charcoal: Marinate chicken livers in olive oil, lemon zest, and herbs, then cook chicken livers on skewers over a hot coal grill at medium heat. This preparation highlights the liver's natural flavours with a delightful smoky finish, ideal for quick snacks or a protein-rich addition to salads.

- Succulent and tender, with a mildly savory flavour profile
Goes Great With...
With a rich flavour profile and tender texture, our calf tongue is a versatile delicacy. It pairs exceptionally well with sharp mustards or tangy horseradish sauces to cut through its robust taste.
Serve calf tongue alongside a crisp, refreshing salad or a creamy mashed potato dish to balance its richness. For wine enthusiasts, a smooth Merlot accentuates the tongue's savoury flavours, curating a gourmet dining experience right at home.
Our Preferred Preparation for Frozen Calf Tongue
We recommend slow-cooking our calf tongue to accentuate its savoury-sweet flavour balance and ensure maximum tenderness. Begin by thawing the tongue in your refrigerator for up to two days.
Once thawed, simmer the calf tongue in a broth of aromatic herbs, onions, and garlic for several hours until it becomes fork-tender. Then, peel off the tongue’s skin to reveal the succulent meat underneath.
Thinly slice the tongue and serve hot with a sauce of your choice, or allow it to cool and serve it as a cold cut with salt, fresh herbs, and a dash of vinaigrette.
How We Ship Our Frozen Calf Tongue
Each frozen calf tongue is vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and prevent freezer burn. We ship our products in insulated bags to maintain an optimal temperature during transit.

Our Preferred Preparation for Venison Striploin
Venison striploin is a premium cut that deserves a cooking method that enhances its natural flavours and tender texture. Whether you're looking for a classic approach or something a bit more adventurous, there are several recipes to follow when cooking this exquisite meat to perfection.
- Pan-Seared with Garlic and Thyme: Begin by heating a cast iron skillet over high heat. Season the venison liberally with Newfoundland Sea Salt and some black pepper. Add a small amount of oil to the pan, then sear the venison on each side for about 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat, add crushed garlic cloves and fresh thyme, and baste the striploin with the flavoured oil to finish cooking to your desired doneness. (We recommend medium rare at 135°F.)
- Grilled Over Charcoal: Preheat your grill to a high temperature. Brush the striploin with oil and season with a smoky spice blend. Grill each side for 4-5 minutes or until you reach the preferred level of doneness. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep the juices locked in.
- Roasted with Root Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the venison with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Arrange in a roasting pan surrounded by chunks of carrots, potatoes, and onions. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the striploin, until the vegetables are tender and the meat is cooked to your liking.
