A Taste of Summer: Line-Caught Swordfish, Garden Herbs & Grilled Perfection

Every now and then, a dish hits the table and just feels like summer. This weekend at The Gallery Casual Dining & Cocktails, that dish is our 10 oz. Char-Grilled Line-Caught Swordfish—a special entrée that brings coastal energy, garden-fresh flavor, and chef-driven detail to every bite.

This is more than just a weekend feature. It’s a full-on summer experience, plated with intention and inspired by land, sea, and the heart of the season.

🎣 Where Flavor Meets the Flame

Let’s start with the centerpiece: swordfish, a meaty, lean fish known for its mild flavor and steak-like texture. Ours is line-caught, a more sustainable method that ensures both freshness and ethical sourcing. We char-grill it over high heat, locking in its natural juices while adding just the right kiss of smoke.

Each 10 oz. cut is grilled to order and perfectly seasoned to let the fish shine—firm, clean, and satisfying in that “wow, I forgot fish could taste like this” kind of way.

🍅 The Sides Tell a Story, Too

We serve it over a citrus-tomato bulgur wheat pilaf, a warm grain base that’s light, bright, and subtly zesty. Bulgur—an ancient whole grain made from cracked wheat—adds a nutty chew that balances the buttery richness of the swordfish.

Paired with julienned summer squash, flash-sautéed for just a touch of color and bite, the dish stays vibrant and clean, never heavy.

And then there’s the finishing touch: a garden herb pistou.

Think of it like pesto’s French cousin—no nuts, no cheese, just fresh herbs (hello basil!), garlic, and high-quality olive oil. Drizzled just before plating, it ties everything together with bold green notes and that irresistible shimmer only good olive oil can give.

🌿 A Dish Built for Summer in NEPA

Whether you’re dining indoors surrounded by local artwork or soaking up golden hour on our patio, this swordfish dish fits the mood of a Northeastern Pennsylvania summer—easygoing, bold, and rooted in real ingredients.

It’s light enough for warm evenings, satisfying enough for true food lovers, and elevated enough to remind you: this isn’t just dinner—it’s The Gallery.

✨ Why It Matters

Yes, we serve handcrafted cocktails. Yes, we support local artists. Yes, our pasta is made in-house. But dishes like this are where all those values come together—on the plate.

This one’s only available through Sunday, and when it’s gone, it’s gone.
So if you're looking for a fresh summer dinner near Wilkes-Barre or Plains, PA, now’s your chance.
