What goes with Marlin?
Marlin is sold under a broad market name covering more than one species, and the colour and richness of a loin vary accordingly. Its firm, muscular flesh forms a substantial steak with a finer, denser bite than many white fish. Inspect the actual loin, remove sinewy seams and do not assume that a smoked slice behaves like a fresh steak.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Marlin?
Lime and ginger interrupt the density of cooked marlin, while a restrained soy glaze strengthens its savoury character. Strained fruit condiments should supply acidity as well as aroma. Fresh goat cheese belongs with thin ready-to-eat smoked slices, where its creamy tang softens salinity; it is a different approach from serving cheese over a hot fresh steak.
