Barbecued Ling with green bean and anchovy salad

Serves:: 4

I remember catching ling as a kid on my Dads friends boat and it was plentiful back then but seemed to fall off fish menus over the years and became a non targeted species. Well it’s back and I forgot what a great fish it was and a perfect fish to cook on the barbecue as it’s got a firm texture rather like monkfish and doesn’t fall apart. I love the simplicity of a great bean salad with shallots and anchovies chopped into it and you can prepare it in advance so all you have to do is cook the fish.
