Like most seafood these days, it’s important to take care when buying swordfish. Look for sustainable options. Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch Program is my favorite resource for finding out what the best options are. When it comes to swordfish, the sustainability depends on where and how it was fished.
If you can’t find sustainable swordfish. Try this recipe with Mahi Mahi or Striped Bass.
