Description
Enquiry

The monkfish is a type of bottom-dwelling fish in the goosefish family. It can be found off the coast of Norway, both close to shore and at depths of 600 meters. The white monkfish flesh has a solid texture similar to chicken and beef. This makes the flesh more resistant to high heat. It is ideal for poaching and frying. The monkfish is currently considered a culinary delicacy of the sea.
