What was in the jaws of the swordfish mounted on the wall in "The Addams Family" house?

"The Addams Family" is an American television series based on the characters in Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons. The 30-minute series was created by David Levy and shot in black-and-white, airing for two seasons on ABC from September 18, 1964, to April 8, 1966, for a total of 64 episodes. It is often compared to its CBS rival, "The Munsters", which ran for the same two seasons and achieved somewhat higher Nielsen ratings. The show is the first adaptation of the Addams family characters to feature "The Addams Family Theme" composed by Vic Mizzy.

Much of the humor derives from their culture clash with the rest of the world. They invariably treat normal visitors with great warmth and courtesy, though some of their guests often have bad intentions. They are puzzled by the horrified reactions to their own good-natured and normal behavior, since the family is under the impression that their tastes are shared by most of society. Accordingly, they view "conventional" tastes with generally tolerant suspicion.

Cousin Farouk was nearly consumed by a swordfish while trying to catch a rare eel. The remains of both Farouk, and the fish are mounted on the living room wall in "The Addams Family" Mansion. Sometimes Farouk's leg is dressed in a pant leg and boat shoe, other times it wears only a flipper.
