Fish

Offal

Offal of Swordfish includes heart, liver, and related organs for regional cookery. Clean carefully; cook the same day. Strong flavours need simple seasoning. Keep swordfish offal iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Grilling steaks and searing loins suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame meaty firm texture.
