Details

Firm and meaty with a mild flavour, Lobster-like texture and no small bones to worry about, Monkfish deserves its much loved status. This is a smaller portion than our whole tail and is suitable for one person.. 

Perfect for putting on the barbecue or roasting in the oven, we've removed the skin and membrane making it ready to cook straight from the packaging.  

All the fish in our frozen section was caught at its best and flash frozen at the quayside. When it arrives at your home you can put it in the freezer to enjoy another day (even if partly defrosted) or put in your fridge and enjoy it within the next 2-3 days as you would with our fresh fish.

Frequently asked questions about Monkfish Whole Tail for One - Frozen

How big is a monkfish tail for one?

Our monkfish tail for one weighs at least 180g and is a smaller version of our whole tail, sized as a main course for one person. It is trimmed and skinned, with one central bone and no small bones, and is vacuum packed so you can take out exactly what you need.

How long does a small monkfish tail take to cook?

A small monkfish tail of around 180g takes about 10 to 12 minutes in an oven at 200C (180C fan) once defrosted. You can also grill it or cook it on the barbecue, turning it a few times. It is done when the flesh is white and firm and comes easily away from the bone.

Can you cook monkfish tail from frozen?

We recommend defrosting monkfish tail before you cook it. Because it is a thick cut on the bone, cooking from frozen tends to overcook the outside before the centre is hot. Thaw it overnight in the fridge in its pack, pat it dry, then roast, grill or barbecue.

How long can you keep monkfish in the freezer?

Keep frozen monkfish in the freezer and use it by the date on the pack. As a general guide, frozen fish is at its best within about three months, after which it can slowly lose texture. Keeping it sealed in its vacuum pack protects it from freezer burn.

Can frozen monkfish go in the freezer if it arrives partly defrosted?

Yes, our frozen monkfish tail can go straight into the freezer when it arrives, even if it has partly defrosted on the journey. If you would rather eat it soon, put it in the fridge instead and cook it within two to three days. Either way, defrost it fully overnight in the fridge before cooking.

What sauce goes well with monkfish tail?

Monkfish has a mild, sweet flavour and meaty texture, so it stands up to bold sauces. Garlic and herb butter, salsa verde, a tomato and chorizo sauce or a light curry sauce all work well. For something simple, baste the tail with butter, lemon and thyme as it comes out of the oven.

Why is Rockfish fish so fresh?

At Rockfish, we pride ourselves on delivering the freshest fish you can find. Our location right on the quayside means we’re just steps away from the day’s catch. This proximity allows us to inspect and select only the finest quality fish, ensuring that what reaches your plate is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment the fish is landed, it takes just a short 17-meter journey to our dedicated fishmonger unit, where it’s expertly prepared within hours.

Slide image

How is the fish prepared?

When fish are in abundance, we blast freeze individual portions right at the quayside, locking in freshness so you can enjoy your favourite even when that species isn't landed or the boats can't get out. It keeps every portion in pristine condition: clean, and easy to handle in the kitchen. Whether it's bound for our restaurants or your home, you can trust that Rockfish fish is as fresh as it gets, straight from the sea to your table in record time.

How does my fish arrive?

Your fish portions are individually vac packed which keeps the fish pristine, easy to handle, and completely odour-free, making unpacking and storing a breeze. All of the fish clearly identifies the boat that caught it giving full traceability and links you to cooking instructions.

Sustainable packaging

We also take pride in our sustainable packaging. Our delivery boxes are made from recycled plastics, offering strength and excellent insulation to keep your seafood perfectly chilled throughout its journey to your home. Our boxes are so good your order will stay cold for up to 48 hours which is much longer than your order will take to arrive to you.

You can even return your box to us, and we’ll work with our recycling partner to transform it into outdoor furniture - creating a sustainable loop for your order.
