Do you bastard monkfish a lot when pan fried?

[CityCommuter]

Just that! I bought some monkfish yesterday and plan to pan fry it for tomorrow's dinner. It's not something we usually cook in our house but I've tried it on holiday before and love it because it's not 'fishy' IYSWIM! Anyway I've looked at a few easy recipes of butter, olive oil and white wine but some say to bastard it throughout cooking and others just occasionally! Ideas please...

😂😂😂😂 brilliant OP

Baste?

Baste?

Please mean baste

Best title in ages!

Bastard!

🤣🤣🤣

You’re going to have to explain how you bastard it.

OMG that should say BASTE! My autocorrect has gone bat shit! 😱

Twice?

If it's a tricky recipe i do sometimes find myself swearing at the bastard, yes.

I really fancy trying some bastard monkfish now

Hilarious 😆

I don't bastard my food but am veggie so probably am not the best to comment the.

Bastard monkfish

I've never checked the paternity of my monkfish

I don't bastard it much but I know that traditionally it is often buggered a lot during cooking (this is an urban myth)

Monkfish is regularly the offspring of extra-marital affairs. YANBU

The feeling of raw monkfish in my hands makes me feel like shouting bastard actually.

I can assure you that our waitrose only sells legitimate monkfish. Not the product of illicit couplings.

Go on, bastard that monkfish!

You tell that bastard fish who's boss OP!

Yes I do and don’t forget to remove the membrane of the bastard monkfish. You’ll certainly be swearing whilst doing that part.

Make sure you remove the membrane before you cook it other wise the bastarding won’t get to the flesh.
