On July 23rd 2012 at 19.00pm I LAND ANOTHER MONSTER FISH!
A bottom-dwelling, brown-skinned, spiny-toothed devil that boasts membership in the horrifying family of nasty critters called Anglerfish. I had to push boundaries and step ‘outside the box’ to take this thing on in its own environment.

Seriously, look at this thing. Oh my, that is one nasty looking fish!
So the Anglerfish won't be collecting £20 for second place in any beauty contests, but damn if it isn't a fine eating fish. The filleted tail of Anglerfish is commonly called "poor man's lobster," owing to resemblance in taste and texture with lobster tail. However, to call it "poor man's" anything these days is a bit of a no no, as Anglerfish has fought off its longstanding "trash fish" description and joined the ranks of overpriced and generally over fished seafood.
One quick tip for Anglerfish, have a very sharp knife handy. The fillets have a silver skin on one side that you'll have to slice off. It's a real slippery bugger of a membrane, so the better your edge, the easier your task.
The Ugly Ass Anglerfish. It's was quite a large fish, and kind of mean too. And of course, it was well pissed off |
