For the main course I had the monkfish bourguignon in a red wine sauce with crisp bacon and mushrooms. |
Arrange the monkfish on top and garnish with the aioli and piquillo peppers. |
I use either monkfish or sea bass for this dish, depending upon which is seasonal and better value on the day. |
Marlin, orange roughy, monkfish and swordfish as well as shark are on its list. |
Deep-water species such as the monkfish and the orange roughy are at risk, as it can take decades before a fish is old enough to breed. |
An albino monkfish was also landed and while this is rare in itself and even more unique feature of this fish is the fact that it had no eyes. |
