The Galician Black Monkfish is an exquisite fish known for its freshness and quality. With no bones and a central spine, it is ideal for various preparations. Its highly valued flesh offers an exceptional flavor, making it the preferred type of monkfish due to its lower shrinkage when cooked.
The Galician Black Monkfish (Lophius piscatorius) is a highly valued white fish, known for its remarkable flavor and absence of bones, making it ideal for those who enjoy fish without the hassle of encountering bones on their plate. This fish is caught sustainably, using traditional methods that ensure its freshness and superior quality compared to black monkfish from deep-sea vessels. At Mariscos O Grove, we offer this fish both whole without skin and with the head and tail separated, according to the customer's preference. It is important to note that the head of the monkfish accounts for about 40 to 50% of its total weight, meaning that when purchasing a 1kg monkfish, the edible portion is around 500 grams. This factor is relevant when calculating the amounts needed for a meal. Galician black monkfish not only stands out for its exquisite flavor but also is the type of monkfish with the least shrinkage when cooked, unlike the pink and white varieties, the latter being of lower quality. Undoubtedly, a perfect choice for gourmet enthusiasts and food lovers.
