Fishermen promoting 'nightmare' monkfish as affordable seafood

Though a steaming plate of sea monster probably isn’t your go-to order at a seafood restaurant, fishing industry insiders hope to persuade U.S. consumers to eat more monkfish — a particularly strange-looking creature from the deep.

Otherwise known as goosefish, the predatory monkfish that the Associated Press calls “the stuff of nightmares” can grow to be roughly five feet long, with a gaping maw and jagged teeth.

The bottom dweller has been commercially fished for years, but recent findings from the federal government indicate that monkfish can withstand more fishing pressure.
