What Does Swordfish Taste Like?

According to Fish Watch by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, swordfish has a slightly sweet, mild flavor. The texture is firm and meaty, so it is a good fish for grilling.

Chefs can buy swordfish whole without the head or guts or as steaks. It is a lean cut, though it stays moist through the cooking process as long as it is not overcooked. It is also used raw in sushi. Most U.S. swordfish comes from the Pacific Ocean.
