abundantly oil your ban with olive oil
season it before
Don't overcook it, it'll loose tenderness

Grill it like a normal steak. Although that looks pretty old, anon. That gray streak is supposed to be red.

lots of lemon juice to hide the flavor of various industrial chemical buildup.

It looks still frozen. Probably been sitting in the back of the freezer at the market for 6 months

if you marinate it in grapefruit juice the enzymes break it down a little bit and when you sear it it becomes like; almost like steak.

Good swordfish: sear outside on grill, inside should be rare. Season only with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Frozen swordfish of dubious quality: white wine steam with dill, parsley, lemon zest, paprika.

You really want to cook these through and through because they're infested with parasites.

I like it with a sweet teriyaki marinade
then cook it like a steak seating it and not moving it around too much but in a non stick instead of cast iron

I did swordfish soup with a pumpkin soup I found in the "International " aisle at the store by all the latino and jamaican import products. For veggies I did celery, carrots, leeks and shallots

In the western world, all fish sold are frozen. It’s part of the process to kill parasites.

You could go to a 3 Michelin star sushi restaurant in the US and all their fish would have been frozen. Don’t buy into the “frozen=bad” meme

Nice. Swordfish would be quite a good protein for that. Great choice

Thanks, found the soup mix randomly and happened to have some swordfish I needed to use but I had like 2.5lbs so they were some beefy chunks in there

Agreed as long as you fully thaw and bring up to close to room temp before cooking it comes out really good. Made some Basa chowder awhile back and it cooked so much easier letting the fish sit on the counter for most of the day
