Calories in Swordfish

Carrying on with our ‘Calories in things’ series I thought we could take a look at one of my favourite foods – swordfish, and see just how healthy or unhealthy it is by looking at the calories in swordfish.

As ever how many calories in swordfish is very much dependent on how you cook it, and there is no point us second guessing that. So instead we focus on how many calories in raw swordfish steak rather than one you have cooked.

So when you are cooking the swordfish, whether it be flash frying, baking, barbecuing or what ever, make sure that you are adding in the calories for the method and other ingredients.
