BETTENDORF, Iowa - It's the season to make meals a bit more special. But you don't need to bust the budget even if you have a taste for lobster.
Scott Community College's director of its Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Center says he likes to use monk fish,
"Monk fish is a very under-utilized piece of fish," says Chef Brad Scott.
"But it tastes like lobster. Let's get started."
1. Heat a cast iron skillet
2. On the side, season fish lightly with salt and pepper
3. Add 3 tbsp of butter to the skillet to help make the sauce
4. Add fish to the skillet, cook each side for about 2 minutes
