This dish is also known by the names pesce spada all ghiotta or alla stemperata. No matter what you call it, the combination of flavors is purely Sicilian. This recipe is super simple to make and very little in the way of allergens. Anyone who has a nightshade allergy should avoid using the green peppers. The base of this recipe are halibut steaks. Check your local fresh fish market or grocer who has the best cuts of halibut. Do your homework before shopping for this meal to make certain you get the best possible. As of this post, the best choice is the Pacific or Alaskan halibut. If you are uncertain of the origin of the fish, ask your grocer.
