Swordfish, a Nutritious and Healthy Addition to Any Diet
Swordfish belongs to the group of fish that have recently become more appreciated for their contribution of omega-3 essential oils to the diet. These fats, which have to be provided by the diet, have now been shown to have a host of health giving benefits including combatting rheumatoid arthritis, heart attacks, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, psoriasis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, multilple sclerosis and even mirgraine headaches. Doctors and nutritionists now recommend three portions of fatty fish per week to get the full health giving benefits. Other oily fish which are also beneficial include, tuna, salmon, mackeral, sardines and boquerones.Swordfish is found in both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and formsquite a large part of the Mediterranean Diet, which is said to be so healthful and indeed is found on the menu of most restaurants all along the coast. Swordfish- Buying and Storing.When buying swordfish pick fish that is a white to pinkish-beige, if it is tinged with brown it is a sign of an off flavour. Swordfish does have a dark meat, along with the white, but this should be cherry red not brown. As with all fish it is best eaten on the day of purchase but if you need tostore it then first wash and pat it dry before placing on a cake rack over a shallow panfilled with crushed ice and refrigerate. All fish deteriorates if allowed to sit in its' own juice.It will store well like this for up tp 2 days. Swordfish can be frozen for up to 2 months but be sure to defrostslowly and thoroughly before cooking.

Brush with melted butter, season with salt and pepper or cover with a piquant sauce, and bake in a medium ovenfor about 20 minutes. Grilling.Place steaks or kebabs on a well greased grill pan and place under thegrill for about 6-10 minutes, turning once. Pan frying.Fry the swordfish in butter or olive oil, turning once. Cook for about 4-8 minutes until the fish is opaque and moist on the inside. Stir-frying.Cut swordfish steaks into bite size pieces and coat in wholemeal flour.Stir fry gently and briefly in hot olive oil and then add to your favourite stir fired vegetables. Poaching.Place enough water in a large frying pan to cover the fish, add seasoning of choice, dill is good. Bring to the boil then add the fish, cover the panand simmer for about 8 minutes.
