The swordfish is an elongated fish that is available in few places in the world, however it is typical of Madeira. It is located at a depth of about 1000 meters and despite its unappealing appearance, if you are a fish lover you will be delighted by its flavor. The succulent swordfish fillets are seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. The peeled bananas and fish fillets are then dipped in egg and flour and then fried in olive oil and sprinkled with sprigs of fresh parsley. They are served with boiled potatoes, also known locally as \u201csemilha\u201d, lettuce and tomato salad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
