Black-bellied monkfish

The sustainability of monkfish (or anglerfish) varies. This can depend on the species (white or black-bellied), where the fish was caught, and how. We recommend checking the product labels for this information. Black-bellied monkfish caught in the North Sea, or by otter trawls in the Celtic Seas and Bay of Biscay are Best Choices. Monkfish is usually sold as tail fillets at fishmongers, supermarket fish counters, and in restaurants.
