This Week’s Fresh Fish Offering

~ Swordfish ~

Halibut for non-Swordfish folks

Swordfish is one of the meatiest fish you will find; cut into “steaks,” making it ideal for grilling and skewering, as well as other cooking methods that don’t fare well with more delicate fish varieties. The mildly sweet flavor is perfect for the addition of marinades and sauces, and the cooked fish results in a moist, somewhat meat-like texture.

Lemon-Glazed Swordfish or Tuna Skewers
Grilled Swordfish Verde
Sicilian Swordfish with Spicy Olive Oil Poached Tomatoes
Swordfish with Crushed Olives & Oregano

Fish is supplied by Giovanni’s Fish Market and Grotto in Morro Bay.

Fish subscribers, please remember to set out an insulated cooler with a frozen gel pack or plenty of ice in it on your scheduled delivery day. Should we need to leave one, please set it out for return on your next delivery. We recycle. Thank you!
