I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place that sold monk fish processed so it kind of shocked me to see this whole monkfish in a supermarket.

    Monkfish (called Rape in Spanish) is super appreciated in Spain. It’s sometimes called fake lobster. I’t is very tasty, white boneless meat, and most of the fish can be used to make a great fish stock.

    I don’t know where the market is, but that is a pretty good price.

      HEB. Really big here in Texas. It’s more “premium” than Walmart at usually comparable prices, though they are more food focused vs. carrying everything.

      It’s also eaten in Japan, especially its liver. I’ve only ever seen monkfish sold in Japanese grocery stores.
