Connecting Supply and Demand
Sustainable swordfish is available at The Fish Shoppe in South Melbourne market. Just look for the blue fish tick on the ticket.
Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) is one of the meatiest fishes you will find; the flesh can be cut into 'steaks', making it ideal for grilling and skewering, as well as other cooking methods that don’t fare well with more delicate fish varieties. The mildly sweet flavour is perfect for the addition of marinades and sauces.
Swordfish carrying the MSC blue fish tick is certified sustainable. MSC labelled swordfish comes from a fishery that has been independently assessed to the MSC Fisheries Standard. Companies using the blue fish tick all along the supply chain have been assessed to ensure products can be traced back to an MSC certified fishery.
You’ll find swordfish with the blue fish tick available at The Fish Shoppe at South Melbourne Market.
Swordfish are a highly migratory species and their distribution is influenced by environmental conditions and water temperature. Walker Seafoods achieved MSC certification following a four-year effort and a significant investment towards ensuring the sustainability of their fishery.
Swordfish have special organs next to their eyes that keep their brain and their eyes warm in cold water, while greatly improving their ability to see as they mostly eat at night. They are one of the fastest fish in the ocean.
