This is a great summer dish you can also grill the monkfish on the BBQ instead of panfrying. I think you will love the really easy method of making a great tasting satay sauce using our seasoned Thai Massaman Paste.

A lot of people think that satay sauce just goes with chicken or pork but it鈥檚 great with prawns & seafood too. In fact when the mackerel come in July & August it鈥檚 definitely worth substituting the monkfish for fillets of mackerel. It鈥檚 also really good with, scallops, langoustines or even lobster too!
