Fishermans Tale MonkfishTypically only the meaty tails of monkfish make it to the table, so most people have never
seen the fishs huge mouth and head, adapted for hunting in deep water. Monkfish are
chocolate-brown above and whitish underneath. They are described as mostly mouth with a
tail attached in fact, monkfish are capable of eating prey nearly as long as they are.
Monkfish arent the prettiest fish, but they are pretty tasty, with mild, slightly sweet meat
similar to lobster.
Monkfish are found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean from the Grand Banks and northern
Gulf of St. Lawrence south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. They can tolerate a wide range
of temperatures and depths, from inshore waters down to nearly 3,000 feet. They live on
the ocean floor, typically on sand, mud, and shell habitats.
Monkfish are mainly harvested for their tail meat and occasionally their livers. The tail
meat is firm, dense, and boneless and has a mild, slightly sweet taste. The meat isnt flaky
like most fish, but rather has a texture similar to scallop or lobster meat.
When buying fresh monkfish, make sure it smells like the ocean - but not too fishy. It
should be moist and lustrous, but no slime or tears in its flesh. Raw monkfish is off-white
to pale gray, covered with a blue-gray membrane, which should be removed before cooking.
If left on, the membrane will shrink and make the meat tough and unpalatable. Cooked

monkfish is white.
Monkfish is low in sodium and is a good source of niacin, vitamins B6 and B12, and
potassium and a very good source of protein, phosphorus, and selenium. Try this fantastic,
healthy, and quick preparation of Grilled Monkfish with Sweet Chili Glaze.
Nutritionist Notes Winter SquashWinter squash is a warm season vegetable that comes in many varieties with a wide range of
textures and flavors. Butternut Squash makes its first appearance of the season at
todays market and you can be sure youll see even more varieties in the weeks to
come! Winter squash are planted in the spring; grow to maturity during the summer, and
are harvested in the fall. With their tough outer shells, most varieties can be stored for use
throughout the winter hence the name winter squash.
Winter squash is high in potassium, niacin, iron and beta carotene. Beta carotene is
especially rich in orange flesh squash. The deeper the orange color, the higher the
concentration of beta carotene. Our body converts this beta carotene to vitamin A which
helps our body keep our skin and bones healthy. Winter squash is also a great source of
complex carbohydrates and fiber. Fiber is the roughage that works throughout our

intestinal track to clean and move waste quickly out of the body and is linked to decreased
risk for colon cancer.
When buying, be sure to look for heavy squashes with somewhat glossy skin that is
unblemished by soft spots or cuts. Cut squash can be stored in the refrigerator, but it is not
recommended for whole squash because the high humidity in the refrigerator can quickly
deteriorate it. Whole squash such as the smaller acorn and butternut can be stored in a cooldry place for up to three months after harvest.
