The monkfish is a monstrous prehistoric appearance and has several species. The monkfish has a large head with an impressive row of very sharp teeth planted diagonally in the jaw. Monkfish is also called lotte or International monk Fish and can reach a length of 2 m with a weight of 55 kg. The monkfish can be found in the North Atlantic waters of Morocco, Iceland and Norway to the Mediterranean and swim to a depth of 1000 m. Monkfish is a real predatory fish that hides in sandy soils, waiting for its prey. The monkfish has a typical tentacle on the head (like a rod it looks like) with a flurry of fluff on it, when it moves back and forth it seems like a little fish is swimming back and forth. It is a kind of bait and attracts fish. The monkfish strikes at lightning speed when a fish arrives in its vicinity. If you handle this fish, it seems like this fish has a big coat on it. The tough rubber-like sheet is not suitable for you to eat, it should always be removed. The color of the skin of this fish may vary slightly, usually this brown is colored with a white/gray belly side. The head of the monkfish weighs about 60% of the fish.
