Content: Monkfish and Mercury: Monkfish is a larger fish that is long-lived and survives off of eating smaller fish. Monkfish does have moderate mercury levels compared to smaller species of fish but can still be safely consumed. When compared to fish such as sea bass or mackerel, monkfish have lower concentrations of mercury. With excellent nutrition, lobster-like monkfish flavor, and a much more inviting price point, monkfish has long been prized in Europe and is becoming more popular in the United States. We hope that we can convince you to give this sustainable and healthy wild-caught fish a try! What Does Monkfish Taste Like? While lobster is very expensive to purchase regularly, monkfish can give you the succulent taste and texture you are missing with lobster, but for a much more affordable price. Monkfish tail fillets will cost you, on average, around $8 per pound while a lb. of lobster meat can cost upwards of $45 per pound.
