This is one of the easiest fish recipes I know and I learnt to prepare it a few years ago in Sicili. Excellent option for quick, light and healthy dinner. Swordfish have long bill that looks similar to a sword and that is where their name comes from. One of the most fascinating swordfish facts is the way that they can select organs to heat. They are cold-blooded and they can heat only their brain and eyes which significantly improves their vision. Out of 25,000 bony fish species, swordfish are one of the only 22 that have this ability. Swordfish are not social and do not swim in schools. They prefer to swim completely alone. This food is a good source of Vitamin B6, and a very good source of Protein, Niacin, Vitamin B12, Phosphorus and Selenium. Swordfish has only 146 calories in a 3-oz. serving - and this is what I like the most. Enjoy!!!
