Monkfish Liver - A Little Slice Of Heaven



When top chefs refer to monkfish liver as the 'foie gras of the sea' this is some billing and it's good to know that it's not just the preserve of high-end restaurants.

The Fish Society, the UK's premier online fishmonger, has recently added monkfish liver to its range of 'Little Tinned Gods'. Sourced in Iceland, one of the world's healthiest countries, this prized product often casts mere mortals into raptures as they discover its light, silky creaminess.

Monkfish liver, preserved in salt, and in this case vegetable oil, has long been a delicacy in Japanese cuisine, where, known as Ankimo, it's traditionally served steamed, as sushi, or in a miso soup.

But it's no longer a Japanese and Icelandic secret. Michel Roux Jr's monkfish liver workout on YouTube has attracted 20,000 hits (40 percent more than his strawberry soufflé!). But as with all good things, a simple approach can also work. For an unusual canapé or a gourmet snack, just peel back the lid and spread the monkfish liver on to thinly sliced toast.


Monkfish liver comes in sardine-sized tins (115g) and costs £11.40 including delivery in The Fish Society's quickNeasy shop, www.thefishsociety.co.uk
