MONKFISH WITH POTATOES, PANCETTA & BLACK OLIVE VINAIGRETTE

Is there an uglier fish than monkfish? Shaped like a flathead with a Luna Park mouth, it ought to be forced to swim in a camouflage suit. It's a mouth with a tail. It's big, it looks uglier than most fish and its texture is different from most fish. More like lobster. You don't see it very often. In fact I hadn't previously seen it at any fish monger near home. Anyway, it worked pretty well in this combination.
