Fresh Swordfish

High quality Fresh Swordfish is currently at historically low prices. There is also no better time of the year to find the highest quality and freshest-to-market, swordfish around. This premium fish is harvested off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia in an area known as the Emerald Basin. The cold, clean, waters of the Emerald Basin are home to some of the largest, fattiest, best tasting swordfish found anywhere in the world.

Harvested by long line Canadian fishing vessels, these large Atlantic Ocean swordfish are prized for their freshness, firm meat and taste. The cold waters of Eastern Canada makes these fish very fat which gives the meat a lot of flavor.  This is very similar to what marbling does for the flavor of beef. The more fat, the more flavor!

These fish are not available year round. They have been available since August, but fishing boats have almost caught their quotas and the weather is starting to get nasty. This means that if you don’t buy these within the next few weeks, you will have to wait until next summer to have the chance to enjoy them again. Don’t miss out! If you are a lover of swordfish, now is the time to experience the best eating swordfish ever.  Just make sure that what you are buying is Emerald Basin, Canadian, Long Line Swordfish. You will not be sorry!

Fresh Swordfish

While fresh swordfish can be enjoyed year round, perhaps the best time to do it is during the months of September and October. Off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia and surrounding areas just north and south of Boston lies the cold, clean, waters of the Emerald Basin, home to some of the largest, fattiest, and best tasting swordfish found anywhere in the world.

Harvested by long line Canadian fishing vessels, these large, Atlantic Ocean swordfish are prized for their freshness, firm meat, and taste. The cold water environment makes the fish nice and fat, giving the meat a lot of flavor, similar to marbling in beef. You can’t get these fish year round. They are mostly caught between late August and early November, with the majority of the fish landed in September and October.

If you are a lover of swordfish, now is the time to savor what you already enjoy. If you are curious as to what swordfish tastes like, you will get no better opportunity to have the “real deal” in these next two months. So the next time you wish to have swordfish, ask if it’s Canadian Basin swordfish. You will be glad that you did.
