About Monkfish

Known as "poor man's lobster" for its firm, sweet, lobster-like flesh. The tail is the prized cut — meaty, boneless, and incredibly versatile. Holds up brilliantly to roasting whole, wrapping in pancetta or Parma ham, grilling, or cutting into medallions.

Why Chefs Love It

  • Zero pin bones — the easiest fish to prep in any kitchen
  • Holds its shape on the grill and in stews where other fish would fall apart
  • The texture is unique — firm and meaty, satisfying even for diners who "don't like fish"
  • Tails from 300g to 4kg+ for any menu format from tapas to sharing plates
