“Espada Preta” – The unique Black Scabbard fish of Madeira Article sections: 1. How it all began

| No other dish served in Madeira defines Madeira cooking closer than this fish which should not be confused by the semantically similar but also traditional dish called "Espetada", which is a metal or laurel wood skewer spiked with salted beef cubes and bay leaf. | ||

The fish is known commonly as Black Scabbard in English or “Espada” in Portuguese. The correct common name in Portuguese is “Espada Preta” so as not to confuse with the “Espada Branca” (White Scabbard), which is also fished off Madeiran shores, albeit uncommon for this epipelagic species (fish that habitate closer to sea level) to be fished on a regular basis. |
