angler fish
The angler takes its name from the method by which it lures its prey: it lies partially buried on the sea floor and twitches a long filament that grows from its head. The filament resembles a worm and attracts smaller
FISH that are soon engulfed by the angler's huge mouth. Also known as monk

FISH is lowfat and firm-textured, and has a mild, sweet flavor that has been compared to lobster. Indeed, shell
