ABOUT SWORDFISH

Nova Scotia swordfish are harvested from the cold, clean, pristine waters along the coast of the province and shipped all over the world. Swordfish are named for the long, sword-like bill extending from the front portion of their body. Their fat, firm flesh is more similar to texture of pork or other meats than fish. Swordfish can be quite large, ranging from 10-600 pounds.
