Monkfish salsa verde
(Redirected from Monkfish salsa verde recipe)
Monkfish taste wonderful, but in their native state look pretty vile. In Spain, they are often sold whole, but in the UK you are only likely to see the tails, filleted and skinned. Monkfish works really well with the herbs in the salsa verde. Don't bother making this with dried herbs!
