Ankimo

(鮟肝, Steamed Monkfish Liver)

Ankimo is a refined Japanese dish prepared with monkfish liver which is cleaned and soaked in milk, then rinsed and brined in a marinade infused with sake and mirin. It is traditionally rolled in a cylinder, steamed, then served sliced, accompanied by grated daikon, sliced scallions, and ponzu sauce.


Because of its rich flavor and velvety texture, this unusual treat is considered to be an exquisite delicacy found on the menus of only the finest Japanese restaurants.
