A few years back you'd see catfish fillets for sale at 70p per lb, then somebody had the bright idea of renaming in 'rock turbot' in the shops. At the same time they put the price up to nearly 2 quid.

People would buy rock turbot who wouldn't buy catfish.

I don't know what the situation with it is these days, a trip to Shields might provide the answer.

Lovely eating. Skin it first, then either fry the fillets in batter or cut it into chunks and fry them in batter as bites.

an excellent straightforward recipe mark

 

[average joe cod]

best way to cook monk, is on a barbeque or skillet with a little garam masala and tandoori powder on it.
The best meaty fish going.

Monk Fish is by far one of the tastiest fish you can get. Here's another really easy tasty dish with it if anyone fancies a try.

Salt the Monkfish tail lightly (sea salt is best) & leave in fridge overnight.

Cut into decent size chucnks & place to one side.

Finely chop or crush 3 small cloves of garlic
Slice 5 decent sized mushrooms fairly course.

Place the fishtail in a deep frying pan.
Cover with good white wine
Thow in the garlic
Then gentley bring to a simmer.
Soon as it starts to simmer throw in the mushrooms.
By this point the fish should have binded & be nice white chunks.
Now the wine has reduced a little add 500ml Double Fresh Cream bring back to simmer & stir slowly for around 3mins then turn off heat.
Finley chop some fresh parsley & stir into the mix.

Boil some new potatoes baby carrots brocerly & asparagus spears all in the same pan until al-dente then drain water add a good splash of extra virgin olive oil & cook of in pre-heated gridle pan with salt & few crushed pepper corns.

Plate up the veg.
Pour over the Monkfish & sorce

Enjoy..........
