Help, no tuna, got swordfish instead, how do I cook it?

[MinkyBorage]

Cooking for friends tonight, have already made haricot beans in coriander and lemon dressing, have watercress nd rocket salad. I'd normally fast fry the tuna so it's very rare, what should I do with the swordfish? Do I need to marinate it? is it nice/ HELP!!!

swordfish is lovely, more meaty than tuna. Cook it in the same way as you would have done tuna. I am very jealous of your tea.

Oooh, thank you, is it the same in that should be rare? I think I'm finding the colour off putting

sorry, you have answered that question.

Sounds like a greeat diiner.
I wouldn't do it rare, no.
Details re pud starter and booze please.

IME swordfish can be a little tough if over cooked but not good rare either. It needs lots of flavour so plenty of seasoning and I would add a bit of spice in the form of a light dusting of chilli powder.

excellent!!! Thanks, great idea re chilli carmenere, but bit frightened about not getting the fish 'just right'! No starter moondog, but berries and cream for pud, booze will be of the white variety, and DH will be in ponce mode wine wise I expect, although friend is complete lightweight!

That was DELICIOUS!!! I will definitely have it again. Good tip not to make it too rare, thanks.

Have they cleared orf already?
