aiguille de mer

[French]

"Sea-needle." Garfish or saury. These are two very similar fish, both of which are good to eat. They are striking, beaked, marine fish up to 60 cm (2 ft) long, with a backbone which turns bright green, almost mauve, on cooking and a delicious flavour, found on most European coasts.
