can you eat marlin fish

Yes, marlin fish can be eaten and is considered both edible and tasty. It has firm, steak-like flesh with a rich flavor and can be cooked grilled, fried, smoked, in curries, or eaten raw as sashimi or sushi when properly prepared to ensure safety. However, because marlin is a large predatory fish, it can accumulate higher mercury levels, so consumption should be moderate, especially for pregnant women who are advised to avoid marlin due to mercury concerns.
