Monkfish has white, fatty, firm, and dense flesh. Their head is quite large compared to the rest of the body. It is versatile and can be baked, grilled, fried, sautéed, and poached with excellent results. The Monkfish has a slightly sweet taste, but also a hint of salt. They have a fishy taste, without being too "fishy", which makes them pleasant for most people.
Monkfish is often compared to lobster in cooking and is sometimes called the "poor man's lobster". Both have a similar flesh texture and the same mild, salty, sweet taste, making monkfish an excellent and often less expensive substitute for lobster.
Monkfish is rich in protein, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and selenium.
