This is a terrific fish, and I’ve said so before. When I came across this site,<\/a>\u00a0where the first writer’s story, written only 4 years ago, pretty much sums up the more usual, negative American attitude toward the\u00a0\u2018sea robin\u2019, or\u00a0<\/b>\u2018gurnard\u2019<\/a>. Things may finally be changing however, thanks to some savvy fishers and their loyal customers.<\/p>\n

Years ago I was on a small party boat fishing for fluke (a client treating myself and some colleagues), and I was really intrigued by these little guys I was pulling up out of the water. I thought they were “pretty and cute”, as one of the folks in that discussion says. The crew on our boat told us they were\u00a0good for nothing, and tossed them back into the sea.<\/p>\n

I now know how to appreciate them, and I have rhapsodized about them at least once before.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0I hope that party boat crew has reconsidered its prejudices.<\/p>\n

Here are the 9 fillets lying on the counter before they were cooked.<\/p>\n
