Chef's Note
One of the most popular methods for cooking fish in Spain is a la plancha, or on a steel plate. Whole fish such as red mullet, sea bream, sole and sea bass are prepared in this way, with an incision made in the thickest part of the fish. Steaks and fillets from fish such as swordfish, monkfish and grouper are also grilled using this method. The fish is usually served with a sauce called "alino" that is poured over the grilled fish. In this recipe the fish is cut into cubes and placed onto skewers. You could substitute monkfish, conger, dogfish or any other firm-fleshed fish for the swordfish.
