Fish
Fillet
Monkfish fillet is the boneless side cut from the frame—everyday pan, grill and bake portion. Thickness tapers toward the tail. Pin-bone, pat dry, cook just opaque. Skin on or off is preference. Save frames for stock. Pairs with lemon, butter, herbs, oil, gentle spice. Cold product sears better—pat surfaces dry and do not crowd the pan.
