Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

I've tried to eat one and it was bloody horrible. Eaten monkfish overseas and thought it was ok, either they're different fish or i caught a bad one.

We had our second helping of it tonight with the same sauce as last time but on rice and it was bloody good. Wouldn't hesitate to eat it again if I ever caught another. Maybe it just doesn't fry well?

I'd like to find out that's the case, the bay we stay at in QC Sound has plenty of stargazers and a distinct lack of anything else. I filleted and fried it, maybe I'll be more adventurous with my cooking next time. In my defence, my BiL couldn't eat it either, and he lived in India and PNG for a while- the stories of his gastronomic exploits leave me feeling quite ill!

It's weird to fry, the flesh seems so dense that it is hard to get cooked through - Bro in law fried some up inside the bach and gawd what a stink my wife has never let him forget about the pong. But in an Indian/Thai/other curry or a stew like moqueca it holds together well and its really nice.
