Dan,
Turns out that you're correct, it's Swordfish. Up until my teens we ate
smoked marlina and sail, but not in years. Used to be a smokehouse in Miami
that did dolphin jerky, smoked king...
So do these sal****er fish need to be cured as the salmon? And is Swordfish
ok for smoking? Only have had it grilled, usually served too dry for me, but
I'l try almost anything.
