Anglerfish (which includes footballfish) is high in vitamins B and B12. If you also consume the liver, that is also high in vitamin D.
In Japan, this fish is commonly prepared in a hot pot, called anko nabe. It is eaten with plenty of vegetables and a miso or soy sauce soup with the anglerfish’s liver blended in.
It looks delicious.

Me too. I grew up in Mass. Now living in TN. I miss the ocean. I've always said, if it comes out of the ocean, I'll eat it.
BTW...trying to find a decent piece of swordfish here in TN is impossible. And I have been looking for 3 months now.
There are some really ugly fish that are delicious
