There's no shortage of opinions on a fishing boat and most said it wouldn't taste good. The poor mate was already hacking his way through one so I took a hunk and gave it a try. I cut it into cubes, lightly coated it in pan searing flour and wokked it up in basil, garlic & oil with some veggies. It was great. Had a firm texture similar to monk fish with plenty of flavor. Would love to catch another and freeze some. It was a welcome departure from my usual fish eating.
