On balance brill's better than turbot these days as the latter is now largely farmed and has lost some flavour as a result IMHO. When wild caught though, I think turbot's still peerless.

And it's cheaper than turbot as well. :smile:

Sometimes more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.

Actually, some of the best fish I've had was free. Was on hols in a village near Oostende on the Belgian coast many moons ago and there were chaps drag-netting for brown shrimp on the beach. There were some dabs in among the catch and they gave them to us rather than wade back out and chuck them back. We went straight back to our friend's place and fried them up for lunch. :hungry:

Whatever you do folks, don't try pouting. Even the cats didn't want it. xx(

I picked up some swordfish today , any tips on how to cook it ? Nothing too fancy as i want to taste the fish . The others i have just wrapped in oiled foil and baked but this is more like a steak .

They are mega popular in Asia. You have to sorta roll the exoskeleton to free the meat underneath it. Delish
...and do a lot of sucking out of the other bony bits....

Cook like a steak! Hot pan or griddle, season, go for it! Just careful not to overcook it :-)
 
[QUOTE 5131095, member: 259"]Eels barbecued over grape vine trimmings. Lovely. Just as long as it don't have to skin them myself![/QUOTE]

All you do is slice through the skin just behind the head, then get a good grip with a damp tea towel and pull the skin off in one piece. :smile:

That bad, huh? :blink:

It's been a little while since I last skinned an eel, but I don't remember garages and hooks being required... :scratch: As for smoked eel, the skin just rubs off...
