monk fish or Gosse fish:head:

My father in law got one of them a few years back and asked me to help clean it. He also called it a Monkfish and of course I refused to touch the thing but I did try it after it was cooked. It tasted a lot better then it looked.

:drool::drool::drool: Monk fish, there are a few names goose is the other! One of the best fish in the water to eat!! They are great for chowder or anything like that cause they stay toghter, others call it poor mans lobster. chunked up they are like a scollop in texture.

You only eat the tails.

god that rainbow runner is such a dik.
who let him in here?
i'm thinking we should immerse him in lime jello.

all right FOOD FIGHT:sun:

:beer:

Man, I can`t believe it, you guys didn`t know what a "Chupacabras" fish is !!!

A very popular culinary dish here in this part of the world[Ireland that is].Alot of good restaurants have monkfish on the menu cooked in various different ways and believe it ir not is one of the most expensive dishes on the menu.
PS Total refit on my V20 [GENESIS] nearly complete will upload photos when finished.:beer:

We've had monkfish liver at the sushi bar a couple of times.
I'm with turbinedoctor about not being able to get past cleaning one of those, don't care how good they are.
