very common to catch around shoreham area but i've just chucked em back.
are they ok to eat though ???
Gurnard are one of the best eating fish in the sea.
Wrap in buttered foil and cook in the oven on 150oC-ish for about 20 minutes.

really :unsure:
damn, better stop chucking them back.
Lovely meaty fillets. The French love them, but they only seem good enough for pot bait over here. Can't understand it.
gurnard are a lovely eating fish, i cook them in a boat of foil with garlic and butter and a sprig of fenugreek, bake in the oven, lovely

Gurnard = chicken in the sea.

agree with previous postings... deeeelish simply pan fried fillets (dusted in flour) in butter with lemon wedges!!!:)
look forward to catching gurnard at saundersfoot in the summer, straight on the barbie, great fish for eating, warning, treat the gurnard the same as red mullet, that is, dont overcook it.

you can get them off the southwick arm, just along from carats cafe.
i've caught them using lug and king rag.
funnily enough, i've not caught them opposite off shoreham arm, just southwick.

only eat them when they are quite big. the small once are full of small fishbones and not pleasant to eat. big ones are delicious!!! one of the better rated fish on the continent

Flliet the fish. Then fry fillets in hot olive oil, chopped garlic and oregano or just some mixed herbs.
When half cooked, Add a splash or two of white wine and then some tomato sauce. ( ready made pasta stuff from supermarkets )
Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve with rice or pasta.:)

If the small ones are full of small fishbones,then what are the big ones full of.
Answers on a postcard please.And only one answer per member.
dont think i could bring my self to bash a gurnard!
When you take the fillets of there tends not to be much meat left. Must try cooking them whole. The heads make a great stock so don't chop em off

Excellent fish to eat!
Always a fight over them when we go to Alderney.
Fillet them. Butter the foil and place skin down. Little butter,salt&Pep.:notworthy
Sometimes make up a light sauce with mustard onion garlic squeeze of fresh lemon. not too much! wrap up and place on barbie. Wait for smoke and serve. flesh peels off skin which will stick to foil!:clap3:

I cooked one-head/tail off, gutted and fried. It was bland and tasteless. Won't bother again.

Great in a fish stew and as Bluefin has stated, the heads make great stock for the stew itself.

Fillet them rub a bit of chilly powder and slap on the bar-b-q
grilled with a sprinkle of rock salt
and dont worry about the worms smaller fish seem to have less in them
