The fish will be available during July and August, while supplies last, the chain said Wednesday.
Whole Foods Market port buyers will hand select and grade swordfish as it arrives at the dock. Buyers will choose only the highest grade – white meat, a firm texture, and bright blood lines, which signify optimum temperature and handling.
"To get this many fishermen on board with the MSC fishery sustainability program is no easy task and is a testament to their commitment to the future of the fishery," said Dan Rand, Whole Foods Market port buyer.
