Monkfish Cheeks (10lb)

Regular price $160.00 Save $-160.00

Known as "poor man's lobster", monkfish is mild with a firm dense texture similar to lobster. The cheeks are an ultra tender cut that have all the flavor of monkfish in perfect nugget-like portions. 1 portion is approx. 16 oz (1 lb). We recommend 8 oz per person. This product is 10 individually packed 1 lb fillets. 

Easy Seafood Recipe - Sear in oil over medium-high heat. Cook for 2 minutes. Lower heat and add butter. Let butter brown for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Flip fillet and then roast in the oven until opaque. For more inspiration, try Monkfish Coconut Curry or Monkfish Cheeks with Tomato and Chorizo Ragu.

Health Benefits - Low in sodium, a good source of niacin and vitamins B6, B12 and potassium and a very good source of protein, phosphorus and selenium. Plus, it’s excellent protein source for low carb paleo and keto diets.

Did You Know - Each large monkfish produces two nugget pieces of white, lobster-like meat from their cheeks. A highly tender cut, fish cheeks are the preferred part of the fish eaten by fishermen. Making use of the whole fish adds value back to the fleet.

Peak Freshness - High tech flash frozen and vacuum sealed at peak freshness from the ocean. Items delivered moderately thawed on dry ice may be put directly into your freezer to keep at restaurant quality for up to nine months, or thaw under refrigeration prior to cooking. Product has four day refrigerated shelf life.

Great Fish & Great Service

The fish arrived frozen hard as a rock and very fresh when thawed. These monkfish cheeks are tender and taste great. But they do have the same membrane that you need to remove from the regular monkfish (altho it has no taste to me when there are bits I couldn't remove, so probably doesn't have to be removed.) I have allergies to all meat and some fish, so it is wonderful to be able to have Red's for substitutes. Their products are always the best, arrive in excellent condition, and are very reasonably priced; I couldn't ask for better.

Great with garlic, white wine and parsley

We received a great service from Red's Best. The monkfish cheeks arrived very well packaged and in perfect condition just a couple of days after purchase. We defrosted two pounds and after cleaning them, my wife prepared them with 'Salsa verde' (salt, garlic, white wine and parsley); They were delicious. We ate them with a side of cooked potatoes. We plan to thaw 4 more pounds after Thanksgiving.
