What is it?
Monk is one of the firmest fish you can get, it goes well in currys and stews. You don't see it with it head on very often because its so big and ugly and it saves on transport costs.
Preparation Options
There is a jelly like membrane that needs to be removed this can be just pulled off. You get two bone free thick fillets off each side of the one central bone.
Is it sustainable?
Our monkfish comes from Looe. The MCS regard this as an unsustainable fish because the state of the stock is unknown and there is a high demand.
