Swordfish is a popular fish in Italy, especially the further south you go. When I visit Catania, I love to go to the Antica Trattoria La Paglia to experience the authentic Catanese cuisine. They have been open since 1814! I had an unforgettable Pesce Spada, swordfish, at the trattoria, which I often make at home when I can find fresh swordfish steaks. I enjoy serving this dish with roasted potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce and pesto green beans. I actually prefer a glass of red wine with this fish! Pairing rules out the window, but a glass of Poggio Grande’s Piano really takes this recipe to another level.
