Do you bastard monkfish a lot when pan fried?

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...

Yeah it’s a tad obvious that this is not really an autocorrect :)

I will only ever call them bastard monkfish from now on. This thread made my day. Thank you so much.

I was put off (bastard) monkfish when I learned how many of them have live worms in them. OK cooking kills them but bleurgh.

😂🤣 love this

Some good and intriguing responses

CantSayJack · 20/06/2021 22:20

Have you seen what an ugly bastard a monkfish is?

Tatapie · 20/06/2021 22:20

I really hope it wasn’t deliberate.

A really nice piece of Bastard Monkfish is perfect for a celebratory meal. For example, a graduation, anniversary, or completing a joysex renovation.

Leave the bastard Smile

@rainyskylight I can assure you and anyone who's wondering that it wasn't a deliberate typo! It was a genuine autocorrect as I obviously type that word waaaaaaaay too much! I must make sure to re-read any future posts before posting! 🤣 I'm glad though that my slip-up has made people laugh this evening 😂

Mnetters up and down the country will be laughing to themselves on Christmas day as they bastard the turkey.

Auto-correct takes bastard and turns it into bastardy, clearly I'm creative with profanity!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 bastard monkfish!! I'm howling!!!

Wineat5isfine · 20/06/2021 23:21

This belongs in bastard classics….

PurpleHoodie · 20/06/2021 23:58

Not really. No.

@ALongHardWinter

Omg this is as good as the 'boil-in-the- vag' thread. Grin
Yes, it is just as good as that. Not in quite the way you mean though.

what a bastard

Emmelina · 21/06/2021 08:52

This is amazing 😁

Mountaingoatling · 21/06/2021 08:55

I occassionally bastard it. On special occasions I fuckwit it and if we're in a real hurry (think parent's evening) we do sometimes cockdrip it.

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 21/06/2021 10:23

What is a joysex renovation, or have I not RTFT again?

@DisgraceToTheYChromosome

What is a joysex renovation, or have I not RTFT again?

No one really knows, but by god I'd love one.

Woeful attempt at classics 🙄
