Book NowAbout Swordfish Fish & Grill
Swordfish Fish & Grill turns out proper old-school takeaway fried in lard for clean, golden crunch. Order the gummy flake—lightly crumbed before grilling—or go traditional with batter that stays crisp long after leaving the counter. Regulars count on thick, house-battered potato cakes alongside skewers of tender lamb souvlaki wrapped to order.
- Old-School Lard Frying: Seafood and chips are fried traditionally in lard to keep the coating crisp rather than heavy.
- Crumbed Grilled Flake: Fillets of flake receive a light crumbing prior to the flat-top for added texture.
- House-Battered Potato Cakes: Potato cakes are cut and battered in-house instead of pulled from commercial freezer packs.

Maria S Lightly Crumbed Grilled Fish
Flake fillets are crumbed lightly prior to grilling rather than cooked plain on the hotplate.
The grilled flake is actually lightly crumbed before grilling which makes it stand out from the often slightly unappealing offerings elsewhere.
