Monkfish isn’t winning any beauty contest as far as its appearance goes, but when it comes to versatility and sustainability, it’s right up there with the best of them. Known to some as "the poor man's lobster" because of its firm, sweet, and delicious taste similar to lobster tails, and to some as "all mouth", because most of the fish is taken up by the head and most of the head is mouth. Monkfish is a versatile, mild flavored, and sustainable protein option preferred by many chefs, including Julia Child herself! Our monkfish is sold in two 1lb filets and was caught in the cold water of the Gulf of Maine by Rob Tetrault on his boat F/V Robert Michael.
A portion of the sales from the monkfish we are selling will go to support food insecure Mainers through the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association’s Fishermen Feeding Mainers program.
Enjoy flash-frozen, monkfish filets shipped anywhere in the US!
