Add your commentHalibut, Haddock, Pollock, Cod, Mahi-Mahi, and Monkfish are all used as a lobster substitute
…Alaskan Halibut and Atlantic Monkfish (also known also as Goosefish and Anglerfish) are the most popular when preparing Poor Man's Lobster recipes. They are both sweet and firm whitefish that hold up well during cooking and can easily be cut into chunks that replicate the taste and texture of fresh lobster meat
I would guess that the carbs could be cut back if you used cubed celeryroot or turnips for the potatoes.
1# potatoes = 390 Calories, .5 fat, 90.8 carbs, 7.8 protein
1# celery root = 122.5 Cal., .86 fat, 26.8 carbs, 4.4 protein
1# turnips = 99.8 cal, .4 fat, 23 carbs, 3.2 protein
No monkfish in Arizona. Have heard that it is also called the poor-mans lobster. So, maybe sub. lobster for monkfish?? I might try it. Costly though.
A lot of carbs.
I've never had monkfish. I don't even know what it is.LOL I will have to check it out. Bet my son-in-law does.
forgot to put serving size… it's 4
