Description
Swordfish belongs to the shark family. However, if you've ever tried shark meat, you'll find that swordfish is quite different. Like other sea fish, it is almost boneless. Both ready-made steaks and whole fresh fish are available in stores. For frying, we will need a steak. Its thickness is very important—2-3 cm.
