Known as "poor man’s lobster" thanks to its similar taste and texture of lobster, our fresh, wild monkfish is a truly exquisite fish. The sweet monkfish meat comes from the tail, which is firm and boneless, making it hold up beautifully to roasting or braising.

  • Cleaned on the boat to ensure peak freshness.
  • Monkfish are native to the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from the Grand Banks and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
  • U.S. wild-caught monkfish is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations.
  • Monkfish is not overfished or subject to overfishing according to the most recent stock assessment.
  • Underneath a monkfish's skin there is a thin membrane that our fishmongers remove so your fish is ready to cook!
