It's so good, kinda like Cubera Snapper (have never eaten a Cubera, but have read from numerous sources); buttery, different-type of flake, just an all-around awesome flavor, most-likely because they eat a lot of crab and other crustaceans/mollusks, so their meat is similar (like the, "pumpkin," Swordfish caught in Islamorada; they are an orangey-pink, because they eat almost nothing but crab, shrimp and krill and their taste is reminiscent of what they eat, which is fairly-different from the standard, white-meat swords.

Hard to find Monkfish, nowadays.
