Monkfish....not very "handsome"......but....

Now then, there is a delicious fish called monkfish.  The poor thing is SO UGLY, that truly the ONLY one would would love the looks of a monkfish would be the Mama monkfish!

Not too "handsome", eh??

BUT......the monkfish is absolutely delicious to eat.  In fact, it was known as "poor man's lobster" because the taste is identical to lobster.  Then, as usual, when someone finds an inexpensive (and monkfish USED to be VERY inexpensive) food that tastes like a RICH food.....what do they do????  They raise the prices.  Now: Monkfish is almost exactly the same price as lobster and it's also very hard to find.
