Flavour Analysis

Beneath swordfish’s familiar beefy meatiness lies a more intricate layering of oleic acid, kombu dashi and brine. A char note introduces aromatic bitterness, while an animal fat note contributes unctuous richness, and iron and rancio notes give the profile depth, contrast and length.
