I have a whole monk fish.

He's seriously good-looking. His head's bigger than my hand spread out!

Now I have to find anybody willing to cook and consume this fellow with me.

Any takers?

I'm thinking of baking him, but I'm at a loss of what to cook him with. This is what you get when you focus on the carnivore bit and forget that plant material helps meat taste good.

I have no comment, other than to say that those things are freaky-looking. >.>

I'd go with Lemon-Thyme (if you can find any) and basil butter sauce, over quartered and poached yellow potatoes with fresh stringbeans, chopped green onion, and julianned red bell pepper.

Ooooor....

Shitake and water chestnuts with snow peas and asparagus Sautéed in white wine and garlic butter.

Ooooor...

Fillet the fish and slice, beer batter and deep fry. Serve with fresh home made lime-mayonnaise tarter sauce. At the same time, use the beer batter to deep fry pablano peppers stuffed with cream cheese seasoned with sage, fresh ginger, and turmeric.

Ooooor...

Caulifower and chopped leeks Sautéed in clam juice and sprinkled with paprika (or Cheyenne pepper), crumbled Queso Cotija cheese, and oregano.

Oooor...

Mashed potatoes made with cream-cheese, pesto, and chives. Stuffed into whole celery sticks, dusted with Parmesan cheese, and broiled to lightly brown.

Now I'm hungry.
