Swordfish, also known as broadbill, is named for its long sword-like bill. This distinctive fish are highly migratory and typically roam in tropical and sub-tropical seas. Swordfish can be found in most New Zealand waters and is caught all year-round.

Swordfish has a firm texture and rich flavour, similar to premium cuts of beef. Its high oil content makes it extremely versatile. The steaks are gorgeous simply pan-fried with a light buttery-lemon salmoriglio sauce drizzled over the top. It's best to sear over a high heat to lock in the juices, but take care not to overcook. Or you can try marinating with your favourite herbs and spices and roasting in the oven.
