About Swordfish, frozen, wild caught
Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), sometimes called broadbill, is a large, powerful, migratory ocean fish named for the long, flat bill it uses to slash through schools of prey. It is prized at the table for dense, meaty flesh that holds together in thick steaks rather than flaking apart, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a satisfying, almost beef-like bite. Swordfish is high in lean protein and supplies omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, selenium, and niacin.
Its firm texture makes it a favorite for grilling, where the steaks take on smoky char, and it is equally good broiled, baked, pan-seared, or skewered onto kebabs with a citrus or herb marinade. Because the flesh is lean, it cooks quickly and is best pulled from the heat while still juicy. As a large predator, swordfish can carry higher mercury levels, so it is enjoyed in moderation. Choose moist, firm steaks with a clean sea smell, and store swordfish well chilled, using it within a day or two.
