Italian Monkfish Kabobs

The pour man’s lobster is very underrated. Having a slight flavor of lobster with the firm consistency of a fish, monkfish is quite versatile and great on the grill. I marinated the fillets in olive oil, garlic, basil, and crushed red pepper for 30 minutes; skewered with a grape tomato, and grilled only for 10-12 minutes in total. If you don’t have a grill, you can leave the fillets whole and bake in the oven for 15 minutes at 400°.
