Wild Caught Monchong (USA)

Monchong is a truly underrated seafood experience, and if you haven't tried it - don't sleep on it!  Upon first glance of the outside of the fish, you'll notice it has large tough scales and the shape of a giant pomfret (15-20 pounds each!). All of that is to protect the extremely delicate and delicious white meat.  The texture of the meat is semi-firm, very finely flaky, and holds its form nicely.  Its a versatile fish, similar to a halibut in cooking usages like grilling, baking, poaching, pan fry, etc.  This fish will surely impress those looking to improve a classic fish recipe by simply adding a more delicate white fish.
