Order Monkfish Online

Order Monkfish Online may be scary to look at, but they are also delicious. Dubbed “poor man’s lobster,” monkfish is mild and has a firm texture similar to lobster in flavor. It holds up well to stews, soups and curries.

The monkfish has a large head, long arms and fins, a flat tail and sharp teeth. They are bottom dwellers, moving along the Atlantic ocean floor and scavenging on small fish, crabs and shrimp. They are able to glide on the seabed, avoiding predators with their arm-like fins and by using their wide mouths to catch smaller fish. They are caught in both shallow and deep waters with a large portion of their catch coming from North Carolina to Maine using trawl and gill nets.
