Monkfish might be one of the ugliest fish you'll ever lay eyes on, but its less than appealing exterior masks a tasteful treasure within. Known as “the poor man’s lobster” the tail meat is similar in firmness and flavor to the better-known crustacean, but monkfish is a more budget-friendly option and much easier to prepare.

Monkfish is an abundant bottom dweller, sustainably managed and responsibly harvested off our Cape Cod shores. It's available year-round.

One (1) pound of monkfish fillets per order.

^*Due to the nature of the filleting process, weights may vary slightly from the listed amount.

Included in this order

One (1) pound of monkfish fillets.

Keeping It Fresh

Product Arrives Fresh

Stays fresh up to 24 hours in the fridge but should be cooked and consumed as soon as possible.

Preparation

Monkfish has a firm, meaty texture similar to lobster. Because it doesn't flake when cooked, monkfish medallions hold up well in paella, curry, seafood stew or grilled kebabs (2 minutes per side).

Feel free to marinate! Monkfish soaks up flavors beautifully. It's also spectacular wrapped in bacon as a delicious appetizer. Try poaching cubed monk for 10 minutes and substitute in a lobster roll.

Our favorite cooking method is pan-frying. Rinse and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot pan with butter or olive oil, garlic and slices of lemon - 3-4 minutes on each side or until the flesh is opaque. Internal temperature should be around 145 F.
