It is also commonly known as Goosefish, Devil-fish, Frogfish, and even “poor man’s lobster,” but no matter what it’s called, this bizarre-looking fish is actually a delicacy in Japan called ankou, which has been popular since the Edo period. Only the females, which grow up to 1.5m long, are eaten as the males are too small to be harvested.
While unlikely to win any beauty contests, the monkfish is considered a high-grade fish which is prized for its flavour, texture, and versatility.
One of the reasons ankou is so beloved in Japan is because it is very versatile: its flesh is light and delicate, its skin is packed with collagen, and its liver can be enjoyed like foie gras. The monkfish is known as the “poor man's lobster" for a reason: it has a firm, springy white flesh that is mild and sweet, similar to that of lobster tails.
You can find monkfish tail in most cuisines, which is prized for its tenderness and mild flavor. However, in Japan, almost all parts of the fish are eaten, including fins, skin, gills, liver, stomach, roe and meat – they are collectively referred to as the “seven tools of the anglerfish” in Japanese. Each part of the fish has a different flavor, but it is generally delicate.
Slices of monkfish meat does not disintegrate easily, so it can be served deep-fried, grilled, stewed, roasted, as sashimi, and of course, in a hotpot. You can also get an entire course meal consisting of anglerfish prepared in various ways.
