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.

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.

taste very good but mind you that species got quite a lot of worm at the belly, cut that part away!

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.

I caught a few gurnard on mitralite spinners off west arm Brighton marina earlier this year.
