I dunno. And I have not seen her for a few weeks as she is busy with her
(relatively) new husband doing (I presume) wifely things. I know she does eat
fish and shrimp on occasion. But she also has been known to do bovine, porcine,
avian, and ovine flesh when it does not sicken her.

There are damned near as many theories as there are theorists. Few of them ever
gain traction with more than a few adherents.

      Title: Gigot Of Monkfish Romarin w/Anchovies
 Categories: Fat ladies, Seafood, Herbs, Citrus
      Yield: 6 servings
 
  2 1/4 lb Monkfish tail
      1    Tin anchovy filets
      6 tb Olive oil
           Juice of 1 lemon
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
      1 lg Bunch fresh rosemary

MMMMM---------------------TOMATO VINAIGRETTE--------------------------
     10 tb Olive oil
      4 ts Wine vinegar
      4 ts Fine chopped tomatoes
 
  Using a larding needle or a sharp knife, make slits in the
  fish and insert pieces of anchovy. Marinate the fish in a
  mixture of oil and lemon juice, seasoned with salt and
  pepper, for at least 2 hours.
  
  Lay the fish on a large bed of rosemary in a roasting tin.
  Pour more oil over the fish (It is the presence of fat that
  releases the essential oils of the rosemary). Roast in a
  preheated oven at 350øF/175øC for 45 minutes.
  
  To make the tomato vinaigrette, heat the ingredients in a
  small pan and season to taste.
  
  Transfer the fish to a serving dish and pour over the warm
  vinaigrette.
  
  Prep Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  
  Cooking Time: 45 minutes
