Curried Monkfish

Curried monkfish is a flavourful and aromatic dish that combines the unique, meaty texture of monkfish with the rich and fragrant spices of curry. Monkfish, often referred to as "the poor man's lobster," has a firm, sweet, and slightly chewy texture that holds up well in hearty sauces. When paired with a vibrant curry base made from ingredients like coconut milk, turmeric, cumin, and fresh herbs, it becomes a delicious, well-rounded meal that’s perfect for seafood lovers looking to try something new.
