Hi Racquel, if it helps you, I buy 1kg bags of barramundi, salmon and basa fillets from Aldi and from the freezer section and I store them in my freezer.
A chef I met said that he soaked the monkfish in orange juice to increase the lobster-like sweetness. I had frozen cod loins and they were just beautiful using this technique. I served with cripsy smashed potatoes and fresh peas. Awww, such a smart sweet boy. He has his inner blueprint radar going on.

While trying to catch fish like monkfish along the seabed, fishermen can use bottom trawling techniques. While these techniques do bring in more fish, they also harm delicate marine ecosystems. Even fish farms , which produce fish in controlled settings, have been shown to be problematic.
These farms use more energy than their livestock counterparts on solid ground. Some fish farms release dangerous levels of greenhouse gases. This issue is largely linked to large-scale fishing operations. To produce this much fish, large boats must be used and questionable tactics are employed. These problems persist due to the lack of regulation and enforcement. In theory, fishing can be done safely, but most fishermen are not motivated to do so.
This is why some people have sworn off fish entirely for the environmental cause. These concerns are valid. When thinking about them, you may make the choice to stop eating fish as well. Some people argue that no fish can be sustainable. Such a position looks at dire forecasts that suggest fish supplies will be depleted by However, some options are more sustainable than others. In most cases, you have to look at the methods used to catch the fish. For example, hook-and-line fishing is often less problematic than net fishing.
Net fishing quickly leads to overfishing and can negatively impact other species and plant life in the area. Another example is spearfishing. When using a spear, fishermen only target one fish at a time.
This effectively limits the wider environmental impact. Other ways to make fishing more sustainable include reel fishing over long lines and seasonal fishing. Some fishermen have standards that prevent them from taking fish that are too young in order to help populations stabilize. In some cases, fish may come from fisheries. These fisheries are essentially like water farms. They operate with strict regulations.
In particular, the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission has been very good at regulating salmon catches. Because of this, salmon is becoming more sustainable.
Some people may still abstain from fish on ethical grounds, but there are sustainable measures that can be taken for your next fish dinner. Compared to many other types of fish, monkfish does appear to be more sustainable. It has a positive rating from NOAA , which assesses all seafood supplies. Second, overfishing is not currently a problem for monkfish. This is partly because monkfish is not pursued recreationally.
All known monkfish procurement is exclusively for human consumption, which can limit potential population damage. Finally, monkfish is caught with trawl gear or gillnets, and it is regulated to minimize bycatch and habitat destruction.
These regulations are regional. Therefore, consumers have to pay attention to where their monkfish has been sourced. These official distinctions are worth noting, but so are outside environmental opinions. Environmentalists are concerned about trawling methods used to catch monkfish. Ultimately, it is a question of personal standards.
