re: Favorite fish to grill

Swordfish can be tricky because if it goes just a few seconds too long, you've got a dried out steak, however, grilling is my method of choice with this fish more so than any others. I prefer other methods for fish, if I cook it at all. Because it tends to dry out, I rarely order Swordfish in restaurants. I was at Peche recently, and it was their only fish of the day, so I reluctantly went with it, and it was the best swordfish I've ever had.

Because of drying out if slightly overcooked, swordfish, amberjack and wahoo are usually not in my rotation.

Grilled Mackerel (Saba shioyaki) is a Japanese delicacy. Score the fish with a touch of salt and grill with a daikon and ponzu dipping sauce.

Alaskan Sockeye Salmon (from Cooper River preferable)
Fresh East Coast Halibut
Sturgeon

For those that like Swordfish, properly handled Mako Shark is just as good and used to be substituted years ago. Trick is to bleed it properly and promptly.

Pompano might be my favorite fish, but I prefer it in the oven with just a touch of lemon.
