Monkfish is a type of fish known for its unique appearance and delicious taste. It has a large, flat head and a long, slender body, often resembling a small shark. The flesh is firm and white, making it a popular choice in various cuisines, especially in Mediterranean and Asian dishes. Monkfish is often referred to as "poor man's lobster" due to its sweet, mild flavor and texture similar to that of lobster. It is typically found in the North Atlantic Ocean and is commonly caught using trawling methods. Monkfish is versatile and can be grilled, baked, or used in soups and stews.
