Monkfish/Squid in its own ink

I've never heard of monkfish in its own ink, but squid, for sure.

I would think that without finding out if it\'s stewed, you should stay away from that. They could be boiled, or baked, or fried, and then tossed with the ink... You never know.

monkfish in squid ink sauce/squid prepared in its own ink

Monkfish cannot be cooked in its own ink as monkfish don't produce ink!

I don't think it's really necessary to include "in its own sauce" for the squid so you could also say:

monkfish/squid in ink sauce



... Stuffed calamari, sautèed squid in lemon-caper butter, quick-fried calamari rings or squid prepared in its own ink are just a few of the possibilities. ...

monkfish/squid in ink sauce

I've come across this several times in menus and I never use the possessive pronoun ('its' or 'their') as it doesn't sound particularly appetising. Does it really matter if the ink came from that particular squid? Not really.
You can also use 'calamari' for 'squid' and 'black ink' for 'ink'
