HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Since we seem to have a handful of posters that know their way around a kitchen or grill, I'm looking for suggestions on preparing swordfish. I have a great market near me and every time I buy salmon or some other standby fish, I see the swordfish and it looks really good. I am leaning toward grilling it but I have little experience grilling fish. I usually stick to baking, broiling or beer battering. On a tangent to the original question, any other seafood recipes that you really enjoy?
Clippers of Nfl Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 My wife does all the cooking. Sorry. You could cut the sword from the swordfish and play 1 Musketeer though.
Gugny Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Rub it with a little oil; add some salt and some Old Bay; grill it for 3-4 minutes each side.
unbillievable Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Whenever I think about buying swordfish, I notice that it's cheaper to buy a ribeye and get that instead.
Gordio Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Whenever I think about buying swordfish, I notice that it's cheaper to buy a ribeye and get that instead. Some people like to eat healthy & don't want their arteries 85% clogged by the time they are 50 years old. Granted I am not one of those people, I buy the ribeye everytime also.
Gugny Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Whenever I think about buying swordfish, I notice that it's cheaper to buy a ribeye and get that instead. Swordfish steaks are almost always $7.99/lb. at my local market.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Not a big fan of swordfish, but my wife asked me to grill her some this summer. Brushed with mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, garlic, basil and mint. I stole the recipe from the intermawebs. It came out pretty good.
CountryCletus Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Buy tuna steaks- that's my super helpful suggestion
Chef Jim Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 This is how I prepare my swordfish. First I go to my local fishmonger and look at the best piece of swordfish they have. Then I buy the Salmon.

Granted I am not one of those people, I buy the ribeye everytime also. some people don't know much about red meat and saw the nonsensical things. Grassfed, free range and responsibly raised beef is healthier then fish when taken into account of how fish are treated.
Saxum Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Stuff it with scallions, lemon and paprika mixed in sesame oil with some seasoned bread crumbs or precooked rice. Brush with mixture of safflower oil, coarse salt, white pepper, lemon juice, garlic and onion powder. Wrap fish in aluminum foil, make sure it is wrapped at least twice. Place it pit, add wrapped potatoes and corn depending on what you like and start a hot fire on top of it w/coals. Used to make a pot of soup on coals. When coals start to cooldown carefully take out of fire and unwrap. Flesh should come off bone without effort. That was my cooking recipe for fish altering seasoning depending on fish.
IDBillzFan Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Rub it with a little oil; add some salt and some Old Bay; grill it for 3-4 minutes each side. Old Bay? Grandma, is that you?
Gugny Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Old Bay? Grandma, is that you? Love me some Old Bay. Really good for chicken wings.

NoSaint Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 some people don't know much about red meat and saw the nonsensical things. Grassfed, free range and responsibly raised beef is healthier then fish when taken into account of how fish are treated. what if i get grass fed free range fish?
dib Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Swordfish are loaded with mercury and are overfished. Try grouper, or redfish. Snapper (the fish) is good too, well so is the other snapper. I'm trying to find someplace that sells lionfish.
