About European anglerfish monkfish
European anglerfish, commonly sold as monkfish, is a marine fish valued chiefly for its firm, pale flesh. The flesh is often cut from the tail and sold as boneless portions or steaks; whole fish and other cuts may also be encountered. Its dense texture holds together during cooking, unlike the delicate flakes of many other white fish.
The mild, relatively sweet flavour suits roasting, grilling, pan-cooking and stews. Skin, bones and the edible portions included can differ between retail cuts, and cooked flesh becomes opaque and firm. The name is sometimes used broadly for anglerfish sold as monkfish, so a market product’s precise species and cut may not be evident from the label alone.
