What it is
Swordfish half-moon steaks with skin are supplied IQF in a 5 kg case. The POLO reference gives professional kitchens a defined seafood format for planned thawing, preparation and service.
Producer and format
The POLO reference is supplied as a 5 kg case. The half-moon cut with skin is a clear unit for menu planning and can be portioned for the service required by the kitchen.
Organoleptic profile
Swordfish has a firm, meaty texture and a clean marine character. The skin-on cut helps protect the surface during cooking and gives the chef a useful side to sear before finishing the portion.
Professional uses and quantities
Thaw only the quantity needed, then pan-sear, grill or bake and finish according to the dish. The case format supports planned fish menus, plated mains, composed salads and other professional preparations.
Errors to avoid
Do not thaw at room temperature, leave raw fish beside ready-to-eat food or overcook the steak until dry. Avoid wet boards and utensils, and do not refreeze the product after thawing.
Storage and handling
Keep the case frozen and follow the pack instructions for storage and thawing. Maintain the cold chain, work with clean equipment and return unused product to controlled refrigeration only when permitted by the pack guidance.
