Organ Meat?

Hello friends!
What do we know about organ meat? I see Liver on the safe list and I think I've heard of folks giving their crabs hearts and necks. What is our understanding on giving organ met (liver, hearts, etc.)? Safe? Unsafe? Beneficial? Neutral?

I'm going to go with organ meat being safe.

Id say generally, safe. Some organs can be an issue, but generally what's accessible in the store is going to not be an issue. Keep in mind, different organs are likely to have different nutritional 'files', so ensure that not one is regularly eaten.

(Eg: liver is very nutrient dense, but commonly regarded as a treat within aquarium circles as it can also be incredibly fatty. Obviously its not going to be a staple, but something to keep in mind)

JJ, yeah those are some great points. I'll definitely have to research it a bit more.
