About Monkfish
Monkfish, often referred to as "poor man's lobster" for its dense, slightly sweet flavor, is a saltwater fish native to the North Atlantic. Highly prized in French, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, its firm white meat makes it versatile for grilling, frying, or poaching. Monkfish is a low-calorie, high-protein choice, containing essential nutrients like vitamin B6, niacin, phosphorus, and selenium, all of which support energy metabolism and cellular health. It is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. Being naturally low in fat, monkfish caters to various dietary needs. However, its mercury levels can occasionally be a concern, so moderation is recommended, particularly for pregnant individuals or young children. This unique fish delivers both culinary diversity and nutritional benefits, making it a favorite for health-conscious food enthusiasts and gourmet chefs alike.
