Swordfish, flesh only, grilled, weighed with bones and skin

Swordfish is a fish eaten for its flesh. These figures are for grilled swordfish flesh only, with the fish weighed with bones and skin. Per 100g, it provides 20g of protein and 4.6g of fat, together with 5µg of vitamin B12 and 51µg of selenium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation, while selenium supports normal thyroid function. Swordfish can contain relatively high levels of mercury, so specific food safety guidance applies to children and people who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
