Something is fishy here on the hill. What is it you may ask…
Well it is me trying a new fish. Swordfish! Swordfish, for those who have never tried it is a very meaty fish. With the texture of it being more like a steak and less like other fish which are flakey. I hate that fishy flavor that you find in salmon and other pink fish, so the swordfish was perfect because it was a very mild white fish. How I prepared my gilled feast was to marinate it in a simple Asian flavored marinade. The marinade was made from lime juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. I took the fish and cubed it then I cut onions and peppers into chunks. All the ingredients (fish and veggies) plopped into the marinade and let set about an hour. Also we threw in some grape tomatoes, and then we put the meat and veggies on the skewers alternating meat and vegg. After all was said and done we shlopped them on the grill. While they were cooking we made couscous, and yea we cheated using the boxed toasted pine nut flavored kind. When I tried the fish let me tell you what! For someone that is opposed to fish this is the one for you. Not fishy at all and it has the same satisfaction of chewing through a big piece of steak (well maybe not exactly the same but close). Try it sometime- in my book it is a real winner!
