Preparation and scope

Pez espada and emperador are accepted Spanish names for Xiphias gladius. One food record is published and historical links are preserved.

The official list validates the name, not the retained 12–15 minutes. No cut was recorded to explain the retired Emperador record’s 15–18 minutes.
