Did you know that one of the creepiest monsters in the ocean can actually be eaten, especially together with broccoli and ginger mash?
In this post, you'll discover the ultimate list of monkfish facts, some of the creepiest, yet yummiest creatures living in the oceans.
Interesting monkfish facts
1. These fish have several nicknames
It's fair to conclude that monkfish are some of the scariest creatures swimming around in the ocean. Monkfish is the name given to these creatures by North Sea fishermen, a sea in the northern part of Europe.
In other parts of the world, this type of fish is sometimes referred to as fishing-frogs, frog-fish, goosefish, and even sea-devils!
Looking at this creature, the latter name seems rather fitting, don't you think?

2. There's a shark called "monkfish" as well
The monkfish isn't to be confused with another animal in the deep ocean which has been given the same name, a type of shark named the "angel shark."
This particular type of shark is also called the "Squatina squatina" and lives at the bottom of the ocean, creating ambushes and preying on unfortunate creatures passing by in the middle of the night.
Oh, the ocean floor is such a great place to live!
