One of the original stars of our homemade range and still one of our best-selling products.

Firm, succulent Cornish Monkfish is wrapped in delicate slices of Parma Ham, creating a classic combination that has appeared on restaurant menus for decades. As the fish cooks, the ham crisps gently around the outside whilst helping to keep the monkfish beautifully moist and full of flavour.

Prepared by #TeamFish and finished with a sprig of fresh rosemary, these are simple to cook but impressive enough to serve for a special occasion.

Serve whole or slice into thick medallions to reveal the beautiful contrast between the pearly white monkfish and the delicate Parma Ham.

Suitable for freezing on the day of purchase. When defrosted, the Parma Ham may appear slightly duller in colour, but it will cook beautifully and taste every bit as delicious.

Restaurant-quality fishmongery made easy.

Did You Know...?
Authentic Parma Ham can only be produced in a specific region around Parma in Northern Italy.

Made using just pork, sea salt, time and fresh air, the hams are matured for many months before being awarded the famous Parma crown mark that guarantees their authenticity. Its delicate flavour and natural sweetness are why Parma Ham pairs so beautifully with ingredients such as melon, asparagus and seafood.

Sometimes the simplest ingredients are the most impressive.

This is wonderfully simple to cook.

Heat a little rapeseed or sunflower oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the rosemary sprig and allow it to infuse the oil as it warms.

Once hot, add the Monkfish and colour the Parma Ham on all sides using tongs. This should take around 2 minutes.

Transfer to a pre-heated oven at 180°C Fan and drizzle over the rosemary-infused oil from the pan.

Roast for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the loin.

If you have a meat thermometer, cook to an internal temperature of 66°C in the thickest part of the fish. If you don't have one, we thoroughly recommend investing in one - it's one of the best kitchen gadgets you'll ever buy and takes all the guesswork out of cooking fish.

Allow to rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into thick medallions.

Serving Suggestions
Delicious served on a creamy risotto, alongside crushed buttery new potatoes or with seasonal vegetables.

For something a little special, spoon over the pan juices and serve with a glass of chilled white wine.
