Swordfish, flesh only, raw

Swordfish is a fish, and these data describe its raw flesh only. It provides protein and fat, together with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 18g of protein, 4.1g of fat, 4µg of vitamin B12 and 45µg of selenium. The figures do not describe cooked swordfish or dishes with added ingredients.

Protein supports the maintenance 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 UK guidance advises people who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant to avoid it.
