Nice fish dinner, probably swordfish.

Trincomalee 

Staff doesn't speak english. They didn't even understand "beer". So I couldn't ask what fish it was but it tasted great.

Not swordfish but seer fish, also named spanish mackere. I found out later. 

Spanish mackerel is very much liked for its delicacy in various regions of South India and Sri Lanka. In Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, this fish is called Vanjaram and is usually the most expensive fish available. In Kerala, it is called Neymeen. It is called Aiykoora in northern Kerala and south coastal Karnataka. In Sri Lanka, Spanish mackerel is known as thora. Seerfishes are also referred to as king mackerels in some areas. They have very sharp teeth and are handled with care by fishers familiar with them. Seerfish is one of the more popular in this group for eating. Seerfishes are notorious for their histamine poisoning. It can be fried, grilled, and steamed. It is gaining popularity in the South Pacific and United States as a canned product.

Throughout India, Spanish mackerel may be known as the following:

Telugu - Vanjaram Chepa
Tamil - Vanjaram, Seela
Kannada - Konema, Kalagnani, Surmai
Tulu - Anjal
Malayalam - Neymeen, Aiykoora
Sinhala - Thora
Marathi - Surmai
Konkani - Iswon
