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!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for your partnership! Together, we will make a HUGE impact for the shelter animals in our community. Thanks for partnering with us on this paw-some cause! <3 Let's Fill The Van!

The only butts we want around here are the ones sitting at the Tiki Bar. 🍹😂

Cigarette butts? Those belong in the trash. Help us keep our Cortez waterways clean and beautiful. 🌊🐟

Raise your hand if you ask the kids where they want to eat and they yell “SWORDFISH!” 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️😂

We can’t blame ’em. Popcorn shrimp, waterfront views and plenty of boats to watch? The little ones know what’s up. 🍤🐟🌴

Bring the whole crew. We’ve got dinner covered!

Well, well, well… looks like the marketing girl went on vacation and left me in charge again. 😎

Just wanted to pop in and say WE MISS YOU GUYS! We’re getting everything cleaned up, fixed up and ready to go, and we can’t wait to welcome you back Thursday! 🐟🍹

And before anyone accuses our marketing girl of scheduling these posts before she leaves just to embarrass me...

This is absolutely a selfie I took and posted myself.

Or is it? 🤔😂

See y’all Thursday!

Are you hiring by chance? I submitted an application on your website. Swordfish has always been one of my favorite places! 🙂

We miss you too. Luckily we have your best bartender Jill with us in Georgia right now🥰

Read what our
customers
have to say
“Perfect setting, friendly atmosphere, great food Sit outside for the fun atmosphere. There is usually live music and lots of folks dance. The setting could not be more perfect…right on the water’s edge with lots of pelicans, egrets, herons, and other birds around. You can arrive by boat and come right up the ramp.”
