As Monkfish (also known as Anglerfish) become a popular choice on restaurant menus and supermarket seafood counters, I thought it was high time to share a humorous video I found which will help you get to know more about these delicious enigmas of the deep.

Find out why male monkfish never have to send Valentines cards to their female counterparts, why both should floss, and why neither the male or female monkfish are likely to enter any beauty contests anytime soon.

The answers provided in the wonderfully goofy music video below by YouTube user VlogBrothers might both surprise you and perhaps even cheer you up!

Enjoy! (The music video starts after a 34 second introduction.)
