18mins 48°C
Monkfish has a wonderful meaty texture that works really well
with the spicy masala flavours. The orange-tinged outside and
soft white flesh look amazing on the plate.

6 Monkfish portions, each 150g — cleaned.
Masala Butter, see butters

2. Pre-heat your water bath to 48°C.
3. Brush the monkfish all over with masala butter.
4. Place your monkfish portions into pouches and vac-seal.
Depending on the size of your pouches, you might want to seal them
