A "monger" was originally a street-seller (i.e. he sold goods on the street, just in case any jokers are up this early !!!) who plied his trade from a stall, usually in a market place.
Examples of the useage of this terminology in the present day are somewhat limited, being only fishmonger, ironmonger (who sold tools etc) and costermonger (second-hand 'tat' for want of a better word) and that's about it.

The same way an ironmonger 'mongs' iron. A monger is a dealer in a specific trade.

If you've never "Monged" a fish, you have never lived!

First you must understand the difference between meat and fish. If a guy beats his fish, it'll die.
