Swordfish
 

We are going for a meal for my mates 21st. I fancy nothing on the menu except maybe the swordfish. What does this taste like? is it a strong taste? Also it doesn't say if it's filleted or not as I can't be arsed messing about with bones or do they always come filleted?

Great film :thumb:

like Tuna steak

:luxhello:You plank.

It is likely to be filleted as swordfish are usually between 4 and 6ft long!!!

Yes, it is a like a slightly meatier tuna steak.

Very nice if it is cooked properly and not overdone.

Grew up on the very thing when i was i kid living in Malta many moons ago. Afternoon at the beach after school then pick up five big steaks out of the back of the fish van on the way home.

Best cooked on a barby, very steak like with one central bone. Not too strong in fishy flavour and with a squirt of lemon juice..perfect!
If served with the skin on simply peel off in one piece.

My six and ten year old daughter and son love it.

Drier than tuna and thicker in texture.

Not like tune at all, really, unless you like tuna really over-done! More like haddock in texture, but chewier.

A very parasitic fish, so make sure it's a good one.

Thanks for that folks think I'll give it a try.

Tastes like chicken, btw ;)

If seared on the outside and raw in the middle its not too bad if over cooked is tough and tasteless. It is a lot like tuna whatever Father peirre says. Similar colour, similar texture and needs to be served seared or raw just like tuna.

John Travolta is superb as is Halle Berry
Excellent...............

Never heard of eating raw swordfish before and aren't tuna steaks more red in colour?

Depending on where they are caught they may not be a sustainable fish stock either if you like eating with a clear conscience.

Eat another pre-living creature with a clear conscience? :lol1:

taste like soylent green

What, a fishy wafer. Must of been an OAP.....

By doing what, exactly? :Suspiciou

I suppose that youd need to see the fish before the fish monger prepares it. Would it be easy to spot to the untrained eye though, like cod?

Are we claiming we can see parasites on a swordfish's skin with the naked eye now? :Suspiciou

Im certainly not: I was making conversation. Cod can be full of worms though, hence my question.

I honestly don't know either, Si. But if i order swordfish, i don't expect a sensible answer if i ask whether the fish in question had relatively few parasites on its body, that's all :D
