Monkfish Monday

[bradger]

I picked up some monkfish a couple weeks ago, vacuum sealed and put in freezer and forgot about, found it a few day ago and started defrosting it. Today I decide to smoke it.
For some reason i have been obsessed with the juniper berry mix, so i tried it on the monkfish.

Smoked with apple chips for about 90 minutes.

It came out well, that mix seams to be quite versatile.

Looks great!
For such an ugly fish they sure do taste good.

yes, i wonder how hungry the first person to try it was.

 

[chilerelleno]

Not as hungry as the first to try a raw oyster....

they call it poor mans lobster, i don't think it tastes anything like that

Looks great. To get the lobster taste you have to dip in butter.

Any fish that'll produce steaks that thick, I've gotta try. Wish I could find it in my area!

Never had it, looks like it's crying out for tartar sauce and squeeze of lemon. Nice work, I'd have most likely fried it up in some olive oil and butter. RAY
