Monk Fish

[Ratman]

Has anyone ever tried smoking monk fish? Any tips would be appreciated.

I haven't ever smoked monkfish but it should be the same for most fish. Use a mild smoke wood, and don't use too much. You can increase your amount next time if you think it doesn't have enough smoke flavor.

I'm not sure about smoking monk fish? If it's oily/fatty as other commonly smoked fish I think it would work just fine. Otherwise it may dry out pretty fast.

Hey Ratman.

You try this? How'd it turn out?

When I do monkfish I usually sear/saute it. Grilled it once too. Kind of interested in how it worked as I could see using it in a version that gets started w/smoke then finished using some other method.

Down for the count right now. Had knee surgery. Hopefully in a few weeks. Will post when I do.

when you come back treat the monkfish as you would a lobster on the grill.

Sure. Makes perfect sense now that I think about it.

Ummm, how do you do lobster on a grill?
