Monkfish

Monkfish, also known as anglerfish, is a sea fish with a distinctive ugly appearance but exceptionally firm, white flesh. Despite its off-putting looks, it is prized as a delicacy particularly in French and Mediterranean cuisine. Its meat has a delicate, slightly sweet flavour often compared to lobster tail, and it holds its firm texture well during cooking. It is suitable for baking, grilling, fish soups and stews. It is most commonly sold as a fillet or tail with the tough skin removed. Monkfish is a rich source of protein and a naturally low-fat food.
