Swordfish is the fifth and highest tier of Kintara's five fish, caught only in The Deep — the raft-only water on the far eastern edge of the ocean at The Shores, just north of the buoy line. Cooking it converts it to Cooked Swordfish, the strongest fish heal in the game at 25 HP — or, on a failed cook, to Burnt Swordfish, which is junk. Cooked Swordfish does nothing in The Dunes: the heat blocks every cooked fish there, and cacti is the only food that heals in the sand.
Catching
The Deep runs 2 live fishing spots of its own. Casts there also roll the water's bonus drops — the Orca Mount, the Waterlogged Crate, the Sunken Treasure Map and Silver Ore dredges — see The Deep for the full table. The Shores, and so The Deep, is closed to free accounts (those holding under 1,000 $KINS).

Cooking Swordfish requires Cooking level 28. Cooking any fish is a roll against your Cooking level — the burn chance starts at 30% (level 5 and below) and slides down toward, but never reaches, 0% (5% at level 40). The Roast Pit shows your exact current burn chance.
Uses
- One Angler outfit exchange takes 150 cooked fish of each species — Cooked Herring, Cooked Trout, Cooked Bass, Cooked Tuna and Cooked Swordfish — and grants 10 raffle tickets.
- Swordfish is the top of the ladder: there is no further bait tier to trade it up to.
