I assembled all the ingredients in a large pan lined with parchment paper, then popped the Wolffish Medley into a preheated 400-degree oven. Dinner for three was served in about 15 minutes.

Whenever I'm in Closter, I drop into The Fish Dock to try another unfamiliar fish from Iceland.
I've eaten fresh, wild-caught Icelandic cod and haddock for years, thanks to Costco Wholesale.
But tusk, ling and wolffish are three others I've never eaten.
On Tuesday, I bought just under a pound of fresh wolffish fillets to prepare at home as a medley -- a dish of seafood and vegetables modeled on the one you can buy at The Fish Dock and pop into a preheated oven.
The one I made at home included kernels shaved off an ear of corn, fresh spinach drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with a little salt; ripe white peaches I grilled for a few minutes on the stove top before cutting them up and adding them to the pan; and fresh lime juice and Aleppo red pepper over the fish.
You also can add pitted olives, mushrooms, thinly sliced eggplant or other vegetables.
The Atlantic Wolffish is also known as the Atlantic Catfish. Only the Monkfish is uglier. |

Fish from the pristine waters of Iceland
For the medley I made at home, I cut up The Fish Dock's wolffish fillets into smaller pieces.

I had leftovers of my homemade Wolffish Medley over organic brown rice with organic tomatoes, organic red kidney beans and peeled garlic cloves, all prepared in an electric cooker. |
