#13Wonder how it tastes. I hear anglerfish tail is similar to lobster. Every once in a while I try to see if there are folks out there exploring deep sea cuisine and come up empty. A lot of rich folks out there paying stupid money for seafood. Some secret food scene I'm not aware of?
Have you tried Orange Roughy[1] Its a deep water fish and one of the nicest tasting fish imho. I stopped eating it some years ago, it was the poster child for unsustainable fishing but seems to have recovered somewhat now (though after some more reading this seems disputed).
