Scombroid is a fish-associated illness caused by eating improperly handled fish. Fish linked to this disease are usually in the Scombridae family, which includes yellowfin tuna, skipjack, bonito, and mackerel.
Scombroid occurs after eating fish that has not been properly refrigerated after capture.
Scombroid causes flushing of the face, sweating, a burning feeling in the mouth or throat, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches. A rash that looks like a sunburn may occur,
Scombroid food poisoning is a foodborne illness that results from eating spoiled (decayed) fish.[1] It is the second most common type of seafood poisoning, second only to ciguatera. However it is often missed because it resembles an allergic reaction. It is most commonly reported with mackerel, tuna, mahi-mahi, bonito, sardines, anchovies, and related species of fish that were inadequately refrigerated or preserved after being caught. Scombroid can result from inappropriate handling of fish during storage or processing. One of the toxic agents implicated in scombroid poisoning is a chemical called histamine. Other chemicals have been found in decaying fish flesh, but their association to scombroid fish poisoning has not been clearly established.
Clean fish promptly after they die to prevent scombroid poisoning. If a fish dies on the stringer, you should clean it on the spot and pack it in ice instead of waiting until you get home. Histamine will begin accumulating as soon as the fish dies.

Antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may shorten the duration of the illness, but the illness will go away on its own.

Unless you have a precise temperature history of the thawed swordfish, refreezing it would not be recommended. The vacuum packaging could promote the growth of C. boutlinum along with the formation of the toxin if it got above 38 degrees F. Swordfish can also produce histamines when temperature-abused which could result in Scombroid poisoning.
