Do you need to soak a salt covered fresh swordfish?

No, it is not recommended to soak a salt-covered fresh swordfish. Soaking a salt-covered fish will reduce the flavours and can make it too salty.

Instead of soaking the swordfish, you can use a damp cloth to wipe off any excess salt before cooking. This will help to ensure that the fish is evenly seasoned without being too salty.
