Isegen Monkfish Restaurant: https://www.byfood.com/restaurant/isegen-4104?via=andrew Imagine a restaurant that’s spent well over 100 years perfecting one fish. Not just any fish—the monkfish. It’s ugly, slimy, and straight out of a sci-fi movie, but here at Isegen in Tokyo, it’s an obsession. From the early morning arrival of these deep-sea monsters to the almost hypnotic focus in the kitchen, this place transforms the monkfish into something unforgettable. The buttery liver? A delicacy compared to foie gras. The fillets? Prepped with precision for hotpots and crispy, golden bites. Join us as we dive into the craft, tradition, and quiet intensity of a restaurant that’s turned the world’s ugliest fish into an art form. 🎥 Credits Host: Andrew Fraser Editor: Alex Victor Producer: Xuan Le
