Monkfish Fillets Fresh

AVAILABILITY
Year-round.

EATING
Monkfish is a mild, firm and dense fish. It’s sometimes called ‘poor man’s lobster’, but you’ll need to eat it yourself to be the judge of that. Its firm texture means it’s super versatile, but we think it’s particularly good roasted, barbecued, or in curries. A standard serving of protein for a hungry adult at dinner time is 150g-200g, if you’re wondering how much to order.

STORING
Fresh fillets should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will keep for 2-3 days. If you receive fish from us vacuum-packed, it’s perfectly fine to be popped into the fridge in the sealed bag, but a better option would be to unpack it into an airtight container. Drain excess liquid from the container daily to keep the fish very fresh. If you would like to freeze your fish, it keeps well in our vacuum-packaging for 3 months maximum. If you want to freeze it for longer than 3 months, it’s a good idea to re-pack it before doing so.
