Are there more than 1 species of monkfish? The ones in New England are tan and even wider.

I think it looks more like an oyster toadfish

 

[santoury]

It isn't a toadfish. Those don't get this big, and they are dark brown. But then again, there could be other species, also.

There are at least 3 types of Lophius sp. that are called monkfish, there are also fish that are not related that are sometimes called monkfish,such as the Squatina sp. of angel sharks.
