Wild Monkfish is one of the most sought-after British fish, known for its firm, meaty texture and sweet, delicate flavour. Landed fresh through Brixham Fish Market, it is prepared to order and delivered in perfect condition, never previously frozen.
Why it’s special: Selected directly at the Brixham Market auction, monkfish is a South West favourite prized by chefs for its versatility. Its firm flesh holds together beautifully during cooking, making it a reliable choice for both simple and refined dishes.
Quality & versatility: With its lobster-like texture and clean flavour, monkfish is perfect for grilling, roasting, or using in curries and stews. It readily absorbs marinades and bold flavours, while remaining moist and succulent.
Serving inspiration: Roast monkfish tails with garlic and rosemary for an elegant main course, or grill medallions on skewers with herbs and spices for a summer barbecue.
