The Health Benefits of Swordfish

Seafood is widely regarded by medical experts and dieticians to be healthy and provide nutritional benefits not found in other meat sources. While salmon is often widely publicized for its health benefits, in general, most fish species are also low in calories and fat, but high in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Swordfish has 120 calories and 6.7 grams of fat per every 3 oz. serving, but provides 20 grams of protein. Swordfish is also a valuable source of vitamin D, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and the antioxidant selenium, as well as being high in omega-3 fatty acids which help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.
