About

Thinly sliced raw monkfish topped with flavored olive oil, arugula, and shavings of Parmesan is an elegant starter for a dinner party. Tuna, sea bass, salmon, or sea scallops could be substituted for the monkfish. Any raw fish preparation demands the freshest and best quality, from a reputable fishmonger. You can also dress the raw fish slices with Ponzu Sauce.
