Monkfish Tail, Raw

EverydayRaw

Monkfish tail is the primary edible portion of this deep-water fish, known for its firm, meaty white flesh that's often compared to lobster in texture and taste. This lean seafood is particularly valued for its high protein content and low fat profile, while providing essential minerals like selenium and phosphorus. The raw tail meat typically comes skinned and membrane-removed, appearing as a pale pink to white, dense fillet with a slightly sweet, mild flavor.
