I don't know why, but I have this sudden desire for swordfish. I was watching The Blue Planet this morning, maybe that's it. I've never had that before. As soon I find out where the dog hid my hat, I'm going to the grocery store.

Anyway... any recipes? I have no idea how to prepare that. What sort of sides would appropriate?

    That is so funny. I was craving it last night & planning on making some tonight. Couple of ways I make it;
    1) rub it with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper , crushed garlic & finely chopped fresh rosemary and bake
    2) top it with some pineapple salsa and bake

    Then...fresh squeezed lemon on the final product!

    I haven't made it in a while, so need to verify cooking temps & times. I think @ 375ish for 15 minutes? Please do check. (I bake it b/c don't have a grill.)

    I don't have any recipe ideas, but I did want to tell you to be sure you eat it in small doses on a rare occasion. While fish and fish oil are great for our hearts, swordfish is one of the varieties that tend to have high mercury levels. A 3 ounce serving once in a while isn't bad for you, but if you start to have lots of cravings for it and eat it daily, it can be toxic. The others to watch out for are shark, king mackerel, tilefish, and Albacore tuna.
