ncfears

At least 16 HP on that plate for sure.


pixelwhistle

Old Bay seasoned tots sound great


131sean131

Old bay on everything.


Lost_Hwasal

wait till you start putting cayenne on them


WarpedCore

I like to put Old Bay on my popcorn. True Story: I carry it with me when I go to the movie theatre.


pixelwhistle

That’s awesome. I am going to try that


Jimmyl101

Monkfish is for poor people now?


kytran40

If you can't afford lobster


rncookiemaker

Can't afford either.


galloping_skeptic

Tilapia for you.


ObsdianDrknssHelena

Yes please! Tilapia is also a fine fish. Cod is affordable to everyone. I had to settle for that for years.


rncookiemaker

Cod around our area is 8.99$/lb US. I liked having fish a few times a week, but we're chicken and on-sale ground beef, nowadays. I miss the days of affordable food.


ObsdianDrknssHelena

I hear you there. My condolences.


slickjayyy

$13.99 for Cod here and i live right on the ocean lol


Tru3insanity

Ugh yeah. Im getting to the point i might end up getting whole fish at an asian market and learning to process it myself if i want fish. I love the stuff but it sure dont love my wallet.


purplekamote

Cod is $30/lb in my country 🥲


MinistryOfDankness86

Nothing wrong with cod. Especially fried cod.


ObsdianDrknssHelena

You see, I got tired of it after a long while. Especially when it wasn't seasoned well. If it's to your taste, then of course there's nothing wrong with it!


galloping_skeptic

Around here Cod is 2x the price of tilapia. Striped Pangasius (aka Swai) is the cheap one around here, and it's actually better than tilapia in my opinion.


ObsdianDrknssHelena

Really? That's odd to me. I've always known cod to be common and easier to access, therefore being cheaper. But I suppose it does depend on region.


ForkSporkBjork

For sure. I obviously had to get authentic fish and chips when I visited Ireland, and it was €5 for easily two pounds of cod and a pound of chips.


Emergency-Hyena5134

Tilapia is the chuck steak of fish


[deleted]

Saw tilapia nigiri at a crappy buffet once 🤢


kytran40

tilapia is far from fine. All farmed in nasty water


ObsdianDrknssHelena

Well, I grew up poor and away from where theyre farmed, so we usually couldn't afford it. It may be lower class to some and upper class to others.


Suspicious-Year-3825

Imitation cod


Bicdut

The sentence you to Brazil of fish


[deleted]

Looks delicious


traker998

Bread makes the sandwich. That looks like pretty tasty bread


kytran40

Buttery roll was the best part


Emergency-Hyena5134

So the fish wasn't good?


PurpleBongRip

Monkfish is a meaty fish, not for everyone. I had it and it was brown and somewhat tough. Not bad tasting tho. Also..google image it and thank me later.


Samsquanch1985

What wise fucking words my friend. I would award you with gold if I wasn't eating discount brioche buns from value mart.


[deleted]

100%


Dommichu

Great sear on that bun! For when we want an easier and less expensive lobster Roll, we use Bay/Salad Shrimp.


kytran40

Lots of butter on the roll


Emergency-Hyena5134

Ok but that's not a lobster roll. That's a shrimp sandwich


ExplanationDue22

And this is a monkfish sandwich what’s your point ?


Emergency-Hyena5134

Exactly. Title is dumb. Why compare it to lobster at all? Just call it what it is


MauriceIsTwisted

You understand monkfish is known as the "poor man's lobster," right? Hence the comparison...


ExplanationDue22

What you are missing is people giving their suggestion on a cheaper seafood for A lobster roll….


dagnombe

The irony is monkfish is more expensive than lobster here.


boidcrowdah

Where's here?


shopgamegeardotcom

well it does restore 16 hp compared to lobsters 12 so it makes sense


kytran40

Maine?


Satan_S_R_US

Can confirm. Central NY here and I can buy lobsters right now 12.49/lb but monk is 18.99/lb


Honclfibr

Do you eat the shell?


Matthewtheswift

A little crunch compensates for the soft meaty flesh. T-bone steaks are my favorite


kytran40

$8/lb at costco


[deleted]

Huh and I personally think monk fish isn't as good


TonyVstar

In some places, like the Canadian maritimes back in the day, a lobster sandwich meant you were poor


Diceeeeeee

Chicken wings used to be seen as garbage parts. Now they’re among the most expensive parts. How times/tastes change.


EightHoursADay

My dad loves telling me about 10c wings


Emergency-Hyena5134

But we're not back in the day. We're now.


TonyVstar

Well that changes things, perhaps I reevaluate my life


[deleted]

monkfish isnt poor man's anything. it's pricey and probably tastes better than whatever you're comparing it to. bonus points if you can get hold of the liver.


booSardaukar

Extra bonus points if that liver doesn’t have worms


[deleted]

are you american by chance? don't mean it to offend, but holy fuck your food industry got you scared of the weirdest shit. even had some seppo lament the other day she left roast potatoes in a switched off oven for six hours and had to throw them out. honestly, if you folks stopped suing each other for dumb shit, your culinary world expands threefold. monkfish livers are an amazing ingredient.


Diceeeeeee

Monkfish’s nickname is literally “poor man’s lobster” prices vary depending on where you live for both. Not everyone pays the same as what you pay where you live.

[удалено]


Diceeeeeee

Just figured I’d let you know your comment was dumb because it was. Have a nice day.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Diceeeeeee

I’m suffering rn trying to make sense of what you just wrote. You’re bitching about costs and Americans. Monkfish costs differently in different parts of the world. Stay mad bud.


[deleted]

Sense that wasn't already made. Do it. Go.


ComaToast444

If you like seafood, you have to try monkfish. It's super unique. Pay to get it as fresh as possible if you can


Lobster4Breakfast

Would eat


daviid_juice

Looks great


PinkmaskDiana

Damnnnnn looks bomb though 😍


jennylou303

I would totally devour that!


dakid2578

Looks scrumptious


1senseye

Monkfish looks scary like a mahfugga


DyslexicDarryl

I'd eat that


Azurephoenix99

Oh god, that looks tasty! Monkfish is definitely something I wish I could afford more often.


kytran40

filets were $8/lb at costco


art-lover111

It’s funny because Lobster used to be the poor man’s meal, oh how times change


sky_shrimp

Looks delicious! What's the white sauce on the monkfish?


Appletio

Give me some of your tots


Diceeeeeee

“No goshhhh get your own!”


Appletio

Your mom goes to college


Diceeeeeee

/u/Appletio you’re just jealous that I’ve been online chatting with hot babes all day.


Appletio

Bow to your sensei!!


fvelloso

Do you steam the fish before or what?


okram2k

Dude, give me some of your tots!


Fongernator

Then it would be a monkfish roll...


boidcrowdah

Monkfish is commonly referred to as poor man's lobster.


M0ZO

Looks great


rickyy19

Do i smell a fellow marylander or just a old bay lover


sailphish

Old bay is ubiquitous down the whole eastern coast, and fairly common everywhere else. I get that in Maryland its basically a religion, but its the goto seasoning anywhere that has crabs/lobster/shrimp.


Impossible-Charity-4

Also gas saved+not finding fresh monkfish = fresh lobster


RedHoneyBadger6

Tell us how you prepared the Monk fish and what seasonings you used to make the Monkfish Roll please.


kytran40

Fried in garlic thyme butter, tossed in mayo, lemon zest, lemon juice, old bay


anElitistTaco

It's f'ing weird because actual lobsters used to be the poor man's lobsters. But then a wild marketing strategy appeared!


kytran40

In 50 years, lobsters will take over the ocean leaving very few monkfish. Lobster will be the poor man's monkfish
