Swordfish is a type of fish that restores 14 Hitpoints when eaten. It can be obtained by cooking raw swordfish on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 45 Cooking and granting 140 experience when successful. When cooking there is a chance to fail, resulting in a burnt swordfish. The burn rate decreases as the player's Cooking level increases, and it will stop burning entirely at Cooking level 80 on ranges and level 86 on fires.

Swordfish are one of the fish required by Caleb during the quest Family Crest.

When eaten, the message You eat the swordfish. is displayed.

Swordfish are the best single-serving food in free-to-play worlds with 2 more hitpoints than lobsters. It is the fastest way to gain health in free-to-play worlds if eaten with an anchovy pizza in one tick.
