Buying Tips
Pumpkin swordfish (orange-tinted flesh) commands 30-50% premium over white-fleshed product. Check for clean, firm flesh without any sour or ammonia smell — swordfish degrades quickly post-harvest. Verify the catch method (longline vs. harpoon) — harpoon-caught is considered higher quality and sustainably sourced. Steaks should be uniform in thickness for consistent cooking.
