PRODUCT INFO

Monkfish is typically found in the deep, cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, off the coasts of Europe and North America. It
thrives in sandy seabeds, where it uses its powerful jaws to catch prey. Its firm, white flesh holds up well in various cooking methods,
from grilling and pan-searing to roasting. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor pairs well with bold seasonings and rich sauces,
making it ideal for seafood dishes, stews, and curries.
It also serves as an affordable alternative to lobster, offering similar texture and flavor without sacrificing quality.
