About Fish, monkfish, cooked, dry heat
Monkfish (genus Lophius), sometimes called the poor man's lobster, is a deep-sea fish famous for its enormous head and fearsome looks but prized for the firm, sweet meat of its tail. Its dense, meaty white flesh has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a springy texture often compared to lobster, and it holds together beautifully without flaking apart. Monkfish is lean and high in quality protein, supplying vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus for relatively few calories.
Its sturdy texture makes it ideal for roasting, grilling, pan-searing, and adding to soups, stews, and curries, where it stays firm and soaks up surrounding flavors. A thin membrane over the tail should be trimmed before cooking. Choose firm, glistening fillets with a clean, fresh smell, and keep monkfish well chilled in the refrigerator, using it within a day or two or freezing it.
