Swordfish is one of the few species on our counter that doesn't come from UK waters, but when we can source exceptional quality, it's simply too good to ignore.

Wonderfully meaty with a firm texture, Swordfish is often compared to a fine steak. It holds together beautifully during cooking, making it ideal for the barbecue as well as pan-frying or grilling.

We've finally found a supplier who consistently delivers outstanding Swordfish loins, with beautifully meaty flesh and exceptional eating quality, so we're delighted to have it back on our counter.

Whether you're looking for something a little different or introducing someone to seafood for the first time, Swordfish is a fantastic choice. It's substantial, satisfying and incredibly versatile.

A true seafood classic that's every bit as impressive on the barbecue as it is in the frying pan.

Didi you know... Swordfish are among the fastest fish in the ocean and can reach speeds of over 60mph in short bursts. Their famous 'sword' isn't actually used to spear prey. Instead, they slash through shoals of fish, stunning or injuring them before circling back to feed.

Unlike most fish, Swordfish have the remarkable ability to warm their eyes and brain, helping them hunt efficiently in the cold, dark depths of the ocean.

One of the ocean's most powerful predators.

Swordfish is wonderfully forgiving to cook thanks to its firm, meaty texture.

Simply brush with a little olive oil, season well and pan-fry or grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. It's equally at home on the barbecue, where the thick loins hold together beautifully over the coals.

Because the flavour is so clean, simple accompaniments work best. Try serving with chargrilled vegetables, a tomato and olive salad, salsa verde or a squeeze of lemon.

Take care not to overcook it - Swordfish is at its best when the centre is just cooked through and still beautifully moist.

Treat it like a great steak and let the fish do the talking.

Individual - Steaks are approx 250g. Ideal for 1 person.
