About Monk fish

Monkfish, often referred to as "poor man's lobster" due to its mild, sweet flavor and firm texture, is a delectable seafood choice popular in Mediterranean, Asian, and French cuisine. Native to the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, this lean fish is packed with high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B6 and B12, and minerals such as selenium and potassium that support heart health and immune function. Monkfish is low in calories and fat, making it a great option for weight-conscious individuals. However, as a carnivorous deep-sea fish, it may pose higher mercury levels compared to smaller fish, so moderation is key, especially for pregnant women and children. Monkfish is prized for its versatility and can be enjoyed grilled, baked, or in hearty stews. A healthy and indulgent seafood choice, Monkfish adds a luxurious touch to any meal.
