Notes

For baking, you can use the lower part to make a Swordfish wheel, and the upper part to make Baked Swordfish and Swordfish Braciolette. They are typical recipes from the South of Italy, my Mom's best.
Swordfish braciolette spiedini is a traditional recipe from Sicily and Calabria. It will take longer to make since you will have to roll each bite. They are perfect to serve for a buffet and you can fill them with cheese or herbs.
Baked Swordfish with breadcrumbs it is easier to make as it is just laid in the pan. Very similar flavors.
When you are at the fishmonger, you will have to ask for thinner slices if you want to make the braciolette.
