Helpful questions

How do I keep the seafood tender?

Check a thin steak before the suggested time and add short cooking intervals as needed; swordfish becomes dry when overcooked.

Can I use frozen seafood?

Yes, when it is suitable for this recipe. Thaw it in the refrigerator after removing vacuum packaging, then pat dry before cooking. Follow the recipe or product label if it specifically calls for cooking from frozen.
