Answer Stojan,
Thanks for allowing me to answer your question. The swordfish is a pelagic fish in that it has only a backbone and no other bones. It has skin with no scales and it is much larger than a yellowtail with adults weighing as much as 300-400 lbs.
The yellowtail has scales and a skeleton and the meat is a darker color. IT is generally much smaller with adults weighing about 20-40 lbs with some in the 60lb range.
Swordfish has white meat and is served as steaks and yellowtail is served as a fillet.
