Products ›› Fish Information ›› Swordfish
There is only one species of swordfish and it roams both tropical and temperate waters. In the U.S., swordfish are caught off the California and New England Coasts and as far north as New Foundland in summer and off the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Coast in the summer. Frozen swordfish is imported from Japan, Taiwan, Spain, and South America. Meat may vary from off-white to brown. Color is determined by diet and is not an indication of quality. The meat has a firm texture and distinctive flavor.
