Atlantic Monkfish
(Lophius Americanus)

Monkfish is sometimes known as anglerfish or goosefish. This large, bottom dweller is found in the coastal waters of the Atlantic.

The meat is found in the tail. With a bone that runs down the middle of the tail each side yields a white, meaty fillet.

The sweet, dense meat of the monkfish is often compared to lobster meat, the two are similar in texture and taste. Monkfish is a low fat, low cholesterol protein and a good source of vitamin B3. Monkfish can be prepared many different ways:

• Pan-fry
• Oven roast
• Poached or Steamed
• Grilled
