Served skewered I assume it is SERVED skewered ... yeah, that's definitely it ... Skewered tuna and skewered hake ... though I like your "fish kebab" too. Mystery solved.
matt robinson Oct 22, 2014:
If it was fish skewered during the cooking process then probably 'fish kebab' would work. If the skewering was during the catching process then it's anyone's guess!

The client had to clarify this ... impossible The client made up this term to refer to skewered fish, in this case ... but this use is totally original, as far as I know. In general "fish pie" would be the logical translation, I do believe.

Fish Pie

According to Farlex dictionary, Aguja - in cooking terms - is "Pastel de hojaldre alargado y fino, relleno de carne picada o de pescado".
In Mallorca there is also a traditional dish called Aguja, which is fish pie made with filo pastry and filled with mushrooms and white sauce.
Example sentence:

Marinated Salmon Pie

Thank you :-)
agree Rick Larg : http://pasteleriapalmadols.com/galeria-de-salado/nggallery/i... More of a pastry than a pie: http://pasteleriasanonofre.com/tienda/aguja-ternera/ My Mallorquin wife assures me that there are agujas de pescado too.

neutral Rachel Fell : yes, but "fish pie" in UK terms brings to mind something very different from flaky pastry

From French ?thread or strip? Fits with meat or fish
Note from asker:

you have needled salmon and we do needlings with fish
Note from asker:
I really don´t think that´s it ... no references to "needled hake" out there .. it´s referring to a part of the fish, not a technique, I believe
Yeah, I have to agree with James ... if you're proffering a possibility ... at least don´t put a "5" by it ... actually I don´t think "needled" makes any sense at all
Peer comment(s):
disagree James A. Walsh : Utter nonsense! I don't know how you can post this with a confidence level of 5 and expect to be taken seriously.
