Whole Foods HQ is, by default, the grocery store I frequent most.  It’s perfectly centered in the middle of the three places I spend the majority of time: home, work, yoga.  It has everything.  And, buried in the back corner, is my favorite lunch spot in town.

On Fridays, the seafood bar {fav lunch spot} has monkfish as a daily catch. And consequently, the fish dubbed poor man’s lobster, has become my new obsession.  Along with steamed kale, sweet potatoes, and a side of tzatziki.

I learned quickly that the reason why this can only be my Friday lunch is they only get a small delivery of this fish early on Friday mornings.  So to test this fish dish out at home, you need to pick up a piece no later than Saturday morning.  And let me tell ya, remembering to make a special trip is totally worth it.
