Heart

Heart of Swordfish is firm muscle for thin grilling or gentle braising. Mild iron note when fresh. A nose-to-tail piece. As a heart section of offal, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep swordfish heart iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Grilling steaks and searing loins suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame meaty firm texture.
