Fresh monkfish should be used as soon as possible. Store fresh monkfish in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, and placed on a bed of ice if possible. It's best consumed within 1-2 days of purchase. For longer storage, monkfish can be frozen. Wrap it tightly in freezer wrap or place it in a freezer bag, pressing out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Frozen monkfish can last for several months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
