Mark,
We used to steak swordfish from many areas of the world. I cannot remember
specifically where they came from but we also used to see orange colored
loins. About the color of chum salmon and occasionally even a deep red. We
pulled them only because consumers would probably consider them defective. I
personally ate and enjoyed many and our Japanese customers said they were
better quality (although I'm not sure why). I agree the coloration must be
due to feed. Note that when cooked the meat returns to a normal color.

Dear Listserve Members,
Recently I had the opportunity to look through several hundred swordfish
fillets from Singapore. Two of them, I am assuming from the same fish, were
orange, about like a pale salmon.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it common? How does it taste? Is this
considered a defect?
I am guessing that this is probably a result of the fish's diet. Any ideas
on what it is dining on?
Just curious.
Thanks,
Mark Neely
