And they wanted to foist this one, obviously not fresh: an extinct eye, faded skin.

Saber fish costs 11 euros per kg in Tuscany, and if it is divided into fillets for you, then 22 euros. I preferred to do the cutting myself (for the love of art and for reasons of economy).
Here she is, beauty.

The dorsal fin is long, its base is located in front of the pectoral fins, and it stretches to the tip of the tail. There is no tail fin. The anal fin consists of a long ray and a series of short rays resembling hairs.
Coloring. The whole body is bright silver, the tip of the jaw and the edge of the dorsal fin are black.

The saber fish, on the other hand, swims quickly due to its saber-shaped body and large dorsal fin. She doesn't even have a tail. The body gradually narrows, ending with a long thread. Hence the other name - hairtail.

She cut the fish into pieces, and filleted each piece.

In this work, the main thing is to have a good fillet knife - long, sharp and thin. Unfortunately, I don't have that. There are few bones in the saber fish, only in the abdominal part and in the process of cutting they remain on the ridge. If any bone remains, it can always be removed with tweezers.

We got these fillets. The skin is not removed from this fish: they are practically not felt, very thin and tender.

One part was used for pasta sauce.
It worked like this:
I chopped the shallots, fried them in cold-pressed olive oil. Added pieces of fish, red hot pepper. I poured in a little dry white wine, evaporated it. I added halves of cherry tomatoes, a little tomato trade wind, salted. I left the sauce on the fire until it thickened (this happened very quickly).
At this time, boiled spaghetti. Mixed with the prepared sauce on the fire and served. The pasta turned out amazing!

The remaining fillets were used for cooking dinner. I made deep fried cutlass fish pieces. Each piece was previously rolled in breadcrumbs. A wonderful cooking method for this fish: the flesh inside remains soft and surprisingly sweet, while the outside forms a crispy crust.

I'm not afraid of you anymore, saber, swung it!
