What is the Monkfish like at Jiko?

Hi! I am just checking out the menu at Jiko and am wondering what the Monkfish dish is like. Is it fishy fish or mild fish? Thanks!


Sorry this should of gone to the restarunt board!

Monkfish as also known as the "poor man's lobster". Is has somewhat (and I stress somewhat) similar taste and texture of lobster but being from New England, nothing can match the taste of our lobsters. I have eaten the monkfish dish at Jiko and I really enjoyed it. It is not a very "fishy" fish (when comparing bluefish, striper, etc) but I feel it is "fishier" than your typical haddock, etc.

The monkfish is one of my favs at Jiko--very tender and flavorful.
