Monkfish

Monkfish is a type of fish that lives in the ocean. It is also called the "anglerfish" because it has a big mouth that acts like a fishing lure to catch its prey.

Monkfish has a big, round head with a wide mouth and sharp teeth. Its body is long and narrow with a pointed tail. The skin is rough and bumpy, and the color can range from dark brown to light pink.

People like to eat monkfish because it has a mild, sweet flavor and is versatile in cooking. It can be grilled, roasted, baked, or fried. Some people also use it to make soups or stews.

To prepare monkfish for cooking, it needs to be cleaned and filleted. This means taking out the bones and removing the skin. Then, the fish can be cut into pieces or left in one big chunk.

Monkfish is a good source of protein and other nutrients like vitamin B12 and selenium. However, it is important to only buy monkfish from sustainable fisheries to protect the ocean ecosystem.
