|description=Steaming the frozen monkfish tail with a bunch of dill added a lovely herb flavour
}}

[[Monkfish|monkfish]] is a superb firm [[White fish|white fish]], with a taste similar to [[King prawns|king prawns]]. It is now widely available at a reasonable price. If it has been filleted and deboned it can be used exactly like [[Prawns|prawns]], however it is often sold sold on the bone as [[monkfish]] tail. Removing the [[Meat|meat]] from the bone while the fish is raw can be tricky and wasteful. However, once cooked the meat just falls off.

The method below worked very well with a [[Frozen|frozen]] [[Monkfish|monkfish]] tail, the [[Dill|dill]] gave it a really nice [[Herbs|herbs]] flavour.

{{RecipeIngredients

| 1 [[Monkfish|monkfish]] tail - [[Frozen|frozen]] is fine
| 1 bunch of [[Dill|dill]]
| Pinch of [[Sea Salt|sea salt]]
}}

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Make a bed of the [[Dill|dill]] in the [[Steamer|steamer]] basket
| Sit the [[Monkfish|monkfish]] tail on the [[Dill|dill]], sprinkle with [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] and drop a few sprigs of dill over the top
| Add [[Boiling|boiling]] water to the [[Steamer|steamer]] and [[Steam|steam]], covered for 15 minutes
| I cooked mine from [[Frozen|frozen]] so after 15 minutes of [[Steaming|steaming]] I took the pan off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
| Once cooled a little the flesh just falls off the gelatinous bone.
}}
===Serving suggestions===
I used the monkfish meat in [[Cheesy monkfish jacket potatoes]] - plenty for two people.
