I'm curious, do people actually consume marlin fish as a part of their diet? I've heard it's a large species of fish, so I'm wondering if it's commonly eaten or if it's more of a specialty item. Are there any cultural or regional preferences when it comes to consuming marlin? And what about the nutritional value, is it considered a healthy option for those looking to incorporate more seafood into their diets?
