How to Make Scabbard Fish in Batter
Scabbard fish lives in the warm seas and has a perfect taste and is rich in nutrients. This fish is not very difficult to cook, but dishes made of it are delicious, since the flesh of the scabbard fish is fat and soft. You can simply roll it in flour and fry, or simmer, and of course you can cook it in batter. We made this fish in wonderful batter prepared with white wine and nutmeg which matches the fish taste to perfection.
