Thanks to improved management, swordfish populations have recovered in North Atlantic waters, and Nova Scotia's harpoon fleet is the first swordfish fishery to be certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.

Harpooners bring us fresh swordfish for just a few weeks each summer, so now is the time to get cooking with this legendary fish.
