Best Practice Thawing Instructions

Cooking:

When it comes to cooking monkfish, there are a few general guidelines and best practices to keep in mind. Monkfish has a dense and meaty texture, so it can withstand various cooking methods. One method is braising, which involves first searing the fish briefly and transferring it to a pot or oven-safe dish with flavorful liquid, then cooking at medium heat for around 20-30 minutes, allowing it to become moist, tender, and easily flaked with a fork. The braising liquid can also be reduced and used as a sauce to enhance the flavor and texture. It is important not to overcook monkfish as it can become dry and tough, so aim for a slightly translucent and flaky texture in the center. When using high-heat cooking methods like grilling or pan-searing, sear the outside quickly to develop a golden crust while maintaining the moistness inside. Lastly, always ensure the monkfish is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees F for optimal food safety.
