There’s a contention in Joel Teitelbaum’s famous Satmar treatise, Vayoel Moshe, based on a Sevara in an enigmatic Mesechta Chulin Braysa that one should eat fish with a fork and not a sword. It never dawned on me to believe anything that a Satmar Rebbe said, but there it is and you should listen to him too. It might save you a trip to the ER.
Herman Mankiewicz once became violently ill at a dinner party hosted by cultured producer Arthur Hornblow and excused himself from the table. “Don’t worry, Arthur,” he airily told his host when he returned. “The white wine came up with the fish.”
The scales that drop are not scales..
I have eaten swordfish myself. Delicious! But I accidentally poked myself with the sword part. That wasn't fun.

Not only doing tshuva, but becoming a satmar chosid too! Awesome!
Ouch
Excited to come. Can you hint what wines are best to complement the meal? Reds or Whites?
Fish is whites, of course.

Swordfish just automatically makes one think of the Marx Brothers, no?
