Get it while it's here!
Thanks to improved management, swordfish populations have recovered in North Atlantic waters, and Nova Scotia's harpoon fleet is the first swordfish fishery to be certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.
Harpooners bring us fresh swordfish for just a few weeks each summer, so now is the time to get cooking with this legendary fish.
All about Harpoon-Caught Swordfish

|---|---|---|
| RESPONSIBLE CHOICE | from a fishery certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council | deliciously versatile, easy to cook indoors or out and perfect with summer flavors |
| HANDLED WITH CARE | fish are caught one-by-one, eliminating bycatch; fish are always traceable to the fishery | no treating with preservatives, no non-certified fish sold under the MSC eco-label |
| FRESH, NEVER FROZEN | brought in on day boats, then flown fresh to our stores almost daily | a peak-season treat; enjoy it while it’s here |
| HEALTHY VALUE | caught using an ocean-friendly, sustainable fishing method; sourced from an abundant population | at the best possible price for its quality; 0.6-0.9g omega-3 essential fatty acids per 3.5-oz serving |
