    But do you know the fish called Monkfish?

    Monkfish is not the prettiest fish. Because of its enormous spiny head and scary teeth, people have called it frog-fish, toad-fish and even sea-devil. But do not judge a book by its cover! Indeed, the fish is better known for its flavor than appearance.

    Monkfish flesh is delicious, lean, thin, and without fishbones. It is sometimes compared to lobster, hence the name of “poor man lobster”.

    Over the years, I have been looking for some in Atlanta with no luck. Finally, I was surprised to find some at my Costco for a good price.

    For my recipe of Monkfish Curry in Coconut Milk, it was also the occasion to use a sample of Maharajah curry (handcrafted spice blend all-natural, organic, fair trade) that Seasonality Spices asked me to try.

    The first thing that my family noticed about this Maharajah curry is its very aromatic fragrance. I just put 2 Tbps of curry because I did not know about the heat and it was just right. Usually, I use 3 tablespoon of yellow curry paste for this recipe. My dish was really tasty! I recommend anyone to try this Maharajah curry.
