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...

The only way is to bastard it often.

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

Last time I had monkfish at home I got food poisoning, so I bastarded it a lot that night!

I managed to well and truly bastard the breakfast yesterday (oven broke so was trying to grill which is apparently not my strong point!)

Too cruel so soon after father's day! Think you should be kinder to the fish and 'lovechild' it instead

Monk fish, you say? Hmmm.

Anyway, you've come to the right plaice for tails of flesh skimpily wrapped in pancetta.

For a split second upon reading the thread title, I imagined someone pan frying their monkfish while shouting profanities at it 🤣🤣

Me too!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Roast with scallops, a little whole grain mustard marinade & dill weed.

GOD, I love your autocorrect! Please post often!!! Mine is fond of telling people that I live in "Have a lick" (Havelock). Have had some interesting conversations about that.

Never bastard a fish but I’ve buggered a few !!

Monkfish is often bastarded, it’s really easy to fuck up.

Anyone else hearing this post in Sean Bean's voice? Bastard monkfish.

Just read the whole thread and it came out in Sean's voice.

Just came to find out how to bastard a fish 😂😂
Thanks for the laugh

I bet you own a 'you don't have to be mad to work here, but it helps' mug

Everyone hears Sean Bean and all I can hear is an Indian rant (specifically my uncle’s voice with a bloody, blinking thrown in for the build up).

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

It was a typo from a different thread a few months ago.

Shaking with laughter

@NutellaEllaElla

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

But does it swear back?

Pleased to say the Monkfish turned out very well yesterday and I only BASTED it once while cooking! There was no swearing involved either! 🤣🤣

You must have got lucky and bought one with married parents

Glad it was yummy!

Made my day
