The monkfish has became popular among chefs due to its very firm meat texture and good flavour, which has also steadily increased its prices over the years. In the UK, monkfish are caught year-round and found all around the coastline, with offers of fresh products mainly from Scotland and the Southwest of England. Prices are expected to increase in UK in the run up to Christmas due to an increase in demand. As of W42, monkfish tails were selling at USD 20.22/kg delivered in Europe.
