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...

I actually refuse to buy or cook monkfish because it's seriously overfished

Best baked in a dish with a bit of lemon juice and olive oil, water to keep it moist and foil over the top. And then serve with fresh herbs. Parsley is fine, but I love salsa verde (minus anchovies).

Are people so naive that they think the OP posted 'bastard' instead of 'baste' accidently? Come on........... 🙄

Are you looking for a salmon thread?

LOL

Brilliant op ,auto correct is awful at times but this has made me chuckle

This has made my night OP. Absolutely howling 🤣🤣

Wheezing like Mutley here. Thanks OP (you bastard)

@CityCommuter

I'm looking over my messages etc to see if I really do type the word 'bastard' often 🤣 and it seems it's more often than I thought! I'm on my 2nd large glass of wine after seeing my thread title! Anyway should I LTB?

Probably too early to say, but maybe cancel the cheque and hope the bastard monkfish don’t snap and fart.

OMG this thread is hilarious! 😂😂

Sorry OP, I screenshot that so I could show it to my friends.

I once went to this restaurant in Sweden purely for its name and the æsthetics of its sign which seemed to tell a story
But now I shall think of the OP and her monkfish

Hahaha

That bastard monkfish. The bastards.

what makes you think it's fishy, Bear?

I’ve never bastard a monkfish. I prefer twatting tuna.

It’s unlikely this was a genuine typo. It still IS a very funny thread. 🤷‍♀️

Maybe boil in the vag monkfish is easier?

Penis beaker has a lot to answer for. D- from me too.

BTB OP (Baste the Bastard)

@CityCommuter

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

OP I bastardise a lot of things but never the Monkfish :)

No, it was definitely deliberate but it's still kind of funny!

Best thread in ages.

Why is this posted in AIBU? if not for traffic at the oh so hilarious autocorrect
