Fresh Swordfish

August 24th, 2009

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.
