Monkfish - Catch and Cook - Spearfishing UK

Описание: I show you how I catch, prepare, fillet and cook a monkfish. I know this fish as a monkfish (Lophius piscatorius) but it is also known as; Anglerfish, Goosefish and by other names.

Exactly one year ago I caught a big monkfish and it was my first video uploaded to youtube. This time I thought I'd show you a little more of what happens after I catch one.

My fairly new Beuchat Mundial 3 dive computer broke and so I don't know the depth and water temperature. I think the depth was between 12-14 meters and water temp was probably around 13 degrees celsius.

What does monkfish taste like? Incredibly good and like no other fish in our sea! It has the texture similar to lobster and no fish-like taste. The bones made a rich fish stock.

Monkfish are a fairly uncommon catch for the spearo, spearfishing while freediving is a difficult and limited method of fishing. You really value these catches and get a great feeling of satisfaction eating something tasty, that you've caught in a specific and sustainable way.

I apologise for the audio quality in parts of this video, I had a new camera man and he was subsequently dragged outside and shot!
