Grilled monkfish
My local Costco started carrying monkfish so I bought some to grill. I never cooked monkfish before so I was curious how it would taste grilled.
I spritz it with some sake to get rid of any potential fishiness and sprinkled on some Tajin seasoning rub. Then cooked it indirect on the Weber kettle for 14 minutes before finished seared for about minute and half per side. I used pair of tongs to flip the fish. First time using tongs to flip fish filets. Ate the fish with soy sauce and wasabi. Fish had firm texture of lobster tail/king crab meat yet had very light sweet taste that was distinctly fish. It played tricks with my mind because the texture said lobster but the taste said fish. I could've used steak knife to cut the fish because the flesh was so firm. Yet the meat was so moist and full of liquid. I think monkfish would make excellent fish tacos since the flesh is so firm and yet the taste is mild and delicate. Excellent tasting fish and super bargain at only $6.99 /lb. |

Did it have the membrane on or removed? I had some a couple years ago and removing them membrane was a royal PITA. I gave up and cooked with it partially on. Big mistake. It was super tough. I’ve had monkfish in Kauai and it’s delicious.

It's excellent fish for any type of sauce. Now that I know how it tastes plain, I want to make spicy sauce for this fish and also use it in various stews. |

It’s amazing that a fish that ugly can taste so darned good. They are some scary looking fish!

Nice! I'll have to check Costco out here and see if they've got any available.
Love the sake and Tajin idea. I'll bet I could get my munchkin to hit some of that, even in her ridiculously picky eating stage of late.

You should try breading some monk fish bites. Its very similar to Gator bites.

Monkfish is called "poor man's lobster" for a reason. It is traditionally used in paella.
Good stuff.
