I don't think it was monkfish back then. At least up here it was cod.
Oh, and it was promoted (around here) as torsk. A quick search came up
with this from All Recipes:
<http://seafood.allrecipes.com/az/Torsk.asp>
"Torsk is broiled and buttered cod fillets. This recipe uses frozen
fish; defrosting is not necessary. Make sure to use butter. There it too
much water in margarine."*
Original recipe yield: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS:
6 (6 ounce) fillets cod
6 cups water
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 1/2 cups butter, melted
1 dash paprika
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat broiler. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
2. Place the fish in a large saucepan. Mix together the water, sugar,
and salt. Pour the water-mixture over the fish. The water-mixture should
fully cover the fish, if it doesn't add more water. Bring the water to a
boil over a medium-high heat. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove fillets from water, and blot on paper towels to remove excess
water. Brush with 6 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with paprika.
4. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fillets
are golden brown. Serve with the remaining melted butter.
Now, that's not at all the way I used to do it, but you get an idea. . .
I never broiled it and I sure as hell didn't use 3 sticks of butter in
the process.
