GRILLED MONCHONG WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE DINNER AT HOME Found three nice and fresh pieces of Monchong at the market for less than $8 total. Made a very fast Mustard Cream Sauce by sautéing shallots and garlic in a little bit of butter. Deglazed with White Wine and about 1/4 cup of Chicken Stock. Added four tablespoons of butter and then about one tablespoon of Dijon Mustard. Stirred well on low heat and then added about 1/4 cup of Cream. Sauce was delicious and perfect with the Monchong…

GRILLED MONCHONG WITH GARLIC CREAM SAUCE DINNER AT HOME I was so happy to see super fresh Monchong for $5.99 per pound. This is an incredible price for fresh fish in Hawaii and it allowed me to prepare dinner for three for under $10 total! While I have already published two posts on Monchong (see links below), this meal was so good that I wanted to share it. Since Monchong is a mild fish, you really need a sauce to enhance the flavor. I simply sautéd garlic and shallots in olive oil and then…

Yep, its more fish! Continuing the quest to learn about and cook more local fish, today we have Monchong; local, wild and on sale at the store.

It's not a pretty fish to look at, you can see the picture at the link above. The flesh is white, with pinkish tones, moist and firm. Having a mild…

MONCHONG DINNER AT HOME Dined at two local fine dining restaurants recently and both featured Monchong as the Daily Fresh Fish Special. Found out why when I visited the market today. Monchong was the lowest price fish in the market. Far less than Mahi Mahi, Ono, Ahi and Shark. Monchong is available year round and can only be found in Hawaii waters. The snow white meat is firm yet preserves moisture. It is a perfect fish for grilling, saute, baking or poaching. The fish has a unique buttery…

Orange Coconut Truffle Sauce with Monchong: Delicious semi-firm texture, and a sweet mild flavored, deep water fish. So good even children love it.

A few weeks ago I adapted a Sam Choy recipe for Coconut Cream Spinach Sauce to make it much healthier and used it on some local monchong fillets, (see post here). It was delicious but it made me keep thinking about the other half of the recipe which was fish, (in Sam's case it was mahimahi), crusted with a coating of sesame seeds and macadamia nuts. I thought the combination of the crusted fish with the creamy sauce (especially Sam's full-fat version) seemed like a bit too much, but separate…
