Schwarzer Degenfisch, Espada, Black scabbardfish

about 1m long black skinned deep sea fish, fished around Madeira with long ropes with hookes on them. the white flesh is very tasty, no fish bones.
it is a typical dish in Madeira: deep fried espada with banana and maracuja
These pics were taken at the fish market in Funchal (if u r there please visit it), where everybody was shouting out loud how good and fresh the fishes were.
