SWORDFISH GRILL – Seafood
Waterfront grill in the historic fishing village of Cortez under the Swordfish name, plating fresh catch, baskets, and dockside rounds where the commercial boats still land. The format works the working-waterfront register — fish off the boats, sunsets off the dock. It suits Cortez fish-house pilgrimages, boat-watching dinners, and eaters who trust a village that still fishes.
