Fish sword cooking. Fried swordfish
There are foods that are better not to cook at all, just so as not to spoil their unique taste. I also include swordfish among such products. Its tender natural meat is sometimes eaten raw with various marinades. And well-known culinary specialists prefer to stew, fry, bake and grill swordfish fillets. If you are lucky enough to buy fresh in the market or in the store!!! fillet, I suggest using my quick recipe for its preparation, the main thing is that the thickness of the fish steak is at least 3 cm.
Ingredients:
swordfish fillet - 350 gr.
olive oil - 30 ml.
sea salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
nutmeg to taste
greens (chervil, parsley)
Cooking:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle swordfish steaks on each side with black pepper, a pinch of sea salt and nutmeg, then put the steaks in hot olive oil and fry over high heat for no more than 3-4 minutes on each side,
because overcooked fish from juicy and tender in taste can turn into a hard sole.
You can serve swordfish with fresh herbs and homemade hummus as a side dish.
In general, many Italians believe that fish should be eaten only where it is caught - on the coast. It is on the coast, not even 15 or 20 kilometers from it. They are not convinced by the argument that now refrigeration technologies are so advanced that fresh fish and seafood can be eaten in Florence, and even somewhere in Umbria, they stubbornly insist that fresh is only immediately from the fishermen, maximum - in coastal restaurants. That's so categorical :)
Be that as it may, I want to tell you about what kind of fish and reptiles you definitely need to try in Sicily. It often happens that our compatriots do not speak Italian and cannot explain what they would like, they order at random and are disappointed. But impressions from the kitchen are often just the right choice. It is best to try seafood and fish in non-tourist places by asking the chef or the owner of the establishment: what, dear, do you have fish today? Usually in such places they cook what the fishermen brought them today. After all, day after day does not happen, but there are also bad days when the fishermen simply did not go out to sea because of the storm.
So, fish and seafood on the island can serve as appetizers(antipasti) and first courses(with pasta, rice or couscous), and of course, second, main dishes. Best ordered as an appetizer. antipasti di pesce. In a good restaurant or trattoria, they will bring you a whole assortment of various snacks, both purely fish and fish and vegetable. If you eat a little, believe me, you will fill up with this already :) Well, pasta lovers can order pasta with mussels, anchovies or sea urchins. As a main course, you should try swordfish/pesce spada or tuna. It is red mediterranean tuna.
Oyster lovers - this is not your case. Oysters are sold and served in restaurants on the island, but they are all imported goods, mainly from the north of France. One can only guess about its freshness. There are practically no oyster farms in the Mediterranean, not their natural conditions. Therefore, for oysters it is better in Calais, and in Sicily from shellfish, you need to try mussels, which are dense, large and fresh here - in the waters of Syracuse there are several large farms for growing mussels at once. Be sure to try the sea urchins. As a rule, in the markets, fishermen clean out the bright orange insides right in front of you and sell them in plastic cups. The taste is very unusual and quite strong. In restaurants, you can order pasta with hedgehogs, although this is not always the case. This is a delicacy. Everyone has heard about vongole- these are classic small shells, with which they cook everything that is possible: pizza, pasta. From the same family telline, shells are narrower in shape, slightly elongated and more delicate. There are also small trumpeter shells and “razors”, but this is much rarer. They are not grown artificially and meeting them in restaurants is a great success.
Of the fish you will meet here and the traditional sea bream, and sea bass, and fresh mackerel, and red mullet, and turbot. In stores, fish differs significantly in price. You can see the same sea bream for 5 euros per kilo, or you can see it for 15. Why? Look closely at the price tag. There will be tick marks: either “pescato fresco” or “allevamento”. The first is the caught “free” fish :), and the second is the farmed one. Under Italian law, the seller is required to mark this on the price tag. It is clear that the fish from the hatchery will cost less. The kings of the local waters, as I wrote above, are swordfish, a huge big-nosed fish with delicious tender meat and red Mediterranean tuna. Their excellent meat can be bought at the market or in the supermarket in the fish department and cooked by yourself. You will immediately recognize them - by the size and color of the meat. It is better not to cook swordfish on the grill, it will be dry. It is ideal to stew it - with vegetables, steamed. Dietary, dense, tender meat. Tuna is very good in any form, including grilled. It is often called a sea cow: its meat is so dense and nutritious. His main season on the island is from May to August. There are a huge number of types of tuna in the world, but it is this Mediterranean tuna that is valued, it is also called bluefin. The population of this magnificent and valuable fish is drastically decreasing from year to year, but more on that another time ... In addition to tuna meat, bottarga, or dried tuna milk, is quite popular on the island. Order pasta with bottarga, you won't regret it.

Swordfish with fennel, lemon and capersFennel, the most worthy vegetable in all respects and very much appreciated all over the world, is still, unfortunately, exotic for Russia. Meanwhile, nutritionists put fennel for its beneficial properties almost in first place among vegetables. And cooks use it in a huge number of recipes. Fennel goes especially well with fish. Cut the fish into 6 steaks 2.5 cm wide. Clean the fennel from damaged outer leaves and cut into thin pieces. Pour lemons with boiling water and cut into thin circles. Cut the garlic into slices. Dry the capers. Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet, add the fennel and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish. Put pieces of fish, lemons and garlic there. Sprinkle with oregano, rosemary leaves, mint and capers. Drizzle with remaining oil, salt and pepper. Put in an oven preheated to 190 ° C for 15 minutes. Then pour in the wine and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle over the juices and serve immediately. The thick bulb-like stalk of fennel is the main indicator of its freshness. It should be dense, shiny and white. The yellowish hue of the upper layers is a sure sign that fennel has been waiting for its buyer for a very long time. |

How to cook Bacon Swordfish
We clean the Bulgarian pepper from seeds and cut it in such a way as shown in the picture.
Lay slices of ham parallel on a cutting board, put the fish on top and season it with ground pepper.
Wrap the fish in ham and season again with ground pepper. We spread the bell peppers on a baking sheet parallel to each other, put the wrapped fish on top of the peppers. We put in the oven at 200 degrees, keep the fish for about 20 minutes, until fully cooked.
1. Preheat the grill or grill oven to medium heat. Soak 4 wooden skewers in cold water for 10 minutes before stringing the fillet on them (in this case they will not burn).
2. Mince basil leaves, olive oil, orange juice and garlic in a food processor or blender. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix well.
3. With the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, sprinkle the fish fillets on all sides, mix gently. Thread fillet pieces onto prepared wooden skewers. Grill on/under the grill until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Serve skewers with sauce. Garnish with orange zest.

Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Put the chopped fish and shrimp, fry on all sides. Add garlic and saffron, as well as wine. Remove fish and shrimp from skillet and place over salad. Salt and pepper the liquid formed during frying to taste. Pour dressing over salad, fish and shrimp.

For about 15 years, the swordfish remained for me something that exists exclusively in the work of Hemingway. After reading The Old Man and the Sea, I remembered that this noble-looking inhabitant of salt waters, oddly enough, is biologically related to sharks. Yes, from time to time I saw elegant outlines of heads with swords in the fresh fish departments of good supermarkets - but it never occurred to me in my life to either buy this fish or try it anywhere in a restaurant. All the time I thought: “Well, a shark ... Well, what is good about it?”
By the way, I tried shark meat - and remained indifferent to it. But for many years I was not interested in swordfish - until I got to Sicily and asked the waitress what she would recommend to me from their assortment. Since then, swordfish has become my favorite fish, and this method of preparation, in my opinion, is the crown of what can be made from it.
I warn you honestly: I haven’t seen this dish anywhere in Italy in this form: I crossed the Sicilian way of seasoning with roasting (I met it on the coast near Rome). In short, the dish is probably still the author's.
