Monk Fish Kiev

“I’ve tried making this with cod loin, and it works too, providing the fish is double-coated to prevent leakage.

I use a small narrow knife or skewer to poke a hole into one end of the fish, ensuring it doesn’t pierce the other side, then the handle of a wooden spoon to widen the cavity for garlic butter. The open side is plugged with a small piece of fish cut from the narrowest end.

It’s deep-fried for 3-4 minutes then finished in a moderate oven (foil wrapped) for 10 minutes or so. Oven times will vary, obviously.”
