  • About

    Monk tail is well know as a mock crayfish, its delicate flavours and hardy texture make it great in a curry or simply on its own. They have been locally caught by fishermen departing from Cape Town harbour, fishing in the cool deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Point. We have carefully selected for you to enjoy with your family or friends.

  • Fishwife Recipes

    Monkfish tail

    You will need:

    • 4 Monkfish tails
    • 50g butter
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • 400g flat mushrooms, stalks removed, caps thinly sliced
    • 200g chestnut mushrooms, stalks removed, caps thinly sliced
    • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Sauce

    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 3 shallots, peeled and sliced
    • 1 garlic clove, sliced
    • 100ml Maderia wine
    • 375ml good-quality chicken stock
    • 1/4 bunch of thyme, tied with a string
    • 10g dried porcini mushrooms
    • 50ml double cream

    Preparation:

    1. Preheat the oven to 150C
    2. For the sauce, heat half of the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the shallots, garlic and a pinch each of sea salt and pepper and cook for about 7 minutes until soft. Add the Madeira and simmer for 5-7 minutes until it has a syrupy consistency, then add the stock, thyme and dried porcini mushrooms and summer gently for 30 minutes.
    3. Remove the thyme stalks and transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor. Blitz until smooth, pass through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan and add the cream. Keep warm until ready to serve.
    4. While the sauce is simmering, heat the butter over high heat in a frying pan large enough to fit the monkfish tails. Once it’s foaming, season the monkfish liberally with salt, then place into the hot butter. Brown the tails all over for about 5 minutes in total, then transfer to a roasting dish. Pour the butter over the top and place in the oven for 25 minutes.
    5. Turn the tails over and cook for a further 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Turn the heat on the oven up to 220C. Squeeze the lemon juice over the monkfish and place back in the oven for 8 minutes.
    6. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in a separate large frying pan. When hot, add the mushrooms, season well and cook over high heat for about 10 minutes (you might have to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan).
    7. Carve the monkfish either by using a serrated knife, and cutting across the bone, or by slicing down either side of the bone and portion accordingly. Serve the fillets atop the mushrooms and smother with the sauce.

          Pleasantly surprised

          Never ordered fish online before and was rather reluctant doing it, but was desperate has there was a shortage of Monk Fish at the regular fish outlets and needed it for a Hibachi diner for friends. The fish arrived the next day and fully frozen as promised, was taste and exactly what I wanted and expected. Thanks!

          First Purchase from Greenfish

          This was our first purchase from Greenfish, being less than satisfied with some other purveyors. I was very happy with the quality of the fish as well as packaging and delivery time frame (next day). Looking forward to some great cuisine.

          Beautiful Monkfish Tails

          Thank you so much Greenfish for the delivery yesterday. The service, the delivery and of course, the monkfish were all wonderful. I actually have some tails currently marinating, ready for a late afternoon lunch. Thank you for the brilliant service, beautiful fish and for making all this fresh seafood, caught locally available to us.

          Monkfish tails frozen

          Dear Ryan, I love monkfish and could not get it anywhere around Stellenbosch. Then I saw your advertisement - halleluja!!! I prepare it in several ways, you can even make a ceviche - because the meat is nutty, fresh!! Just take the skin off and you get beautiful filets. The internet is full of recipes and I am so thankful that I got it ( I think I bought eight in the meantime)at your company. All the fish in my last order looks good and was delivered by a friendly young man in no time after ordering. I do not mind frozen fish as we live in Stellenbosch and we do not buy things everyday. Will you have crayfish tales again, just the tales? Kind regards The chef of the family Ursula Ehrhardt

          Monkfish Goan curry

          Used this together with a few prawns to make a superb curry. Had only previously used fresh monkfish, but I found no different, just required a gentle cook once the curry sauce had been made. It was superb, will definitely buy again
