What is Monkfish?
Monkfish, also known as "poor man's lobster," is a type of fish found in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It has a dense, meaty flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor that is often compared to lobster or shrimp. Monkfish is a versatile fish that can be prepared in various ways, such as grilling, baking, broiling, or sautéing. It is often used in soups, stews, or curries, as well as in sushi and sashimi dishes. Due to its firm texture, monkfish can also be wrapped in bacon or prosciutto and served as an appetizer.
