An oldie, a goodie, and a whole lot of seafood! 🦞🦐
We dug into the Swordfish recipe archives for today’s special and brought an old favorite out of retirement!
🦐 Seafood Lasagna 🦞
Layers of pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, shrimp, scallops, and lobster, all tucked into our creamy Flamingo sauce. 🤤
Some of you might remember this one! For the rest of you, here’s your chance to see what all the fuss was about.

Grouper cheeks are one of the most delicious little treasures of the fish!
🐟 Not to be confused with collars (the flavorful cut just behind the head and gills), grouper cheeks are the small, tender pieces of meat found on either side of the head.
🐟They're sweet, delicate, incredibly tender, and often compared to little seafood medallions. There are only two per fish, which makes them a pretty special catch!
A little butter, garlic, lemon, and a hot skillet is all you need. 🤤
If you didn't know, well, now you know!

We’re helping FILL THE VAN! 🐾❤️
If you know our friends at SeaMonkey Apparel , you know they’re always finding a way to step up, give back and rally our community around a good cause. This October, we’re proud to support them as a sponsor of their third annual Fill the Van campaign!
What started in 2024 with more than 900 pounds of donated pet food and supplies grew to more than 3,200 pounds last year, and this year they’re hoping to fill that van even more. 🙌
Throughout October, Fill the Van is collecting donations for the Humane Society of Manatee County, Humane Society of Sarasota County and Friends of Manatee County Animal Welfare. 🐶🐱
And you can help right here at Swordfish!
We have a donation station set up throughout the month for unopened dog and cat food, treats, toys and other needed pet supplies.
We love seeing local businesses use their platform to do good, and SeaMonkey continues to show up for this community in so many different ways. We’re proud to stand behind them and help spread the word about another great cause.
Next time you’re headed our way, bring a little something for the van. Every donation adds up! ❤️🐾
Let’s FILL IT UP, Cortez!

Our Swordfish family is coming together to support one of our own. Nicole was a part of the Swordfish Grill family for many years and is still so loved by so many of us.
Nicole and Jarrod recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of their baby girl, Kennedy. We’re sharing their GoFundMe in hopes of surrounding them with a little extra love and support during an unimaginable time.
If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean more than you know. ❤️
