Hmm... maybe the young ladies could serve smoked salty! The crowd would snap it up.

If you want to replicate monkfish, just heat up some cardboard..... It's very difficult to tell the difference unless you're a really good cook!

Can you imagine the reaction when they discover they have been eating either Bambi or Rudolph?Son of a gun-ner wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 7:22 pm My missus remembers eating a Monk Fish meal, and a Reindeer meal at separate times when she went to Kristiansand many years ago for her work.
You could do venison and pretend it's Reindeer if it's not too expensive where you live.
I have worked and socialised with a lot of Scandinavians over the years and I would tend to say that food is generally very fish and potato orientated. Frequently raw and even pickled in alcohol, such as aquavit, which is distilled from potatoes. The trouble is not generally to the taste of more modern westernised youngsters!
Give them fish fingers and say they were made from Norwegian cod.

I was going to say Tacos but I think PanlessWolf's suggestion is more plausible.

Ok, Ok, Ok...
Here's something that I do. Fresh cured Gravadlax, potato pancakes, sour cream and cucumbers, pickled red onions and capers-
I can walk you through it. It's a relatively simple process it just takes a few days to prepare/cure ahead. You could even make canapes individually for a ladies luncheon or tea party. It's a nice sophisticated treat.
I did a quick search and came up some other ideas that might be more the direction you are looking at-

Sounds like you've suffered through some poorly prepared monkfish unfortunately. Monkfish is also known as "poor man's lobster" since when it is prepared well it similarly resembles poached lobster.
In my neighborhood the damned things are a dime a dozen. I have them in my yard. They eat the roses off my rosebush. Deer, not reindeer. I've actually killed 3 in my lifetime by hitting them with my cars. It's completely legal in New York if you hit and kill one with your car you can take the carcass home. Anyway Venison is a tasty treat. I've never had reindeer but elk is also a nice choice.SteamBoatWillie wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 12:49 pm Can you imagine the reaction when they discover they have been eating either Bambi or Rudolph?

Give them barbecued kangaroo, they're like a reindeer that works out at the gym or prison

Around Ontario, they call burbot, "poor man's lobster". You need to be pretty poor.
