Geoff is right. It is scabbard fish or commonly known as espada (sword) in portugal! It's not to be confused with sword fish. The name comes from the blade like shape of the body. Very common in Madeira. Great shot! :-)

SJS. Thanks for your comment. You may well be right about the fish's name: I went by what I was told !!
