Gurnards are used to bait and attract shell fish like lobsters and crabs in the uk, they are very spiny but it's good not to waste them!

Not if one knows how to cook them

Dutch friends entertained us to a lunch with lots of Gurnard cooked as we went along. It had to be rearranged several times until the only stall in Lagos market that sold them had any. However I would only buy them here if we can cook outside.

We might miss out on certain things when we leave the EU but we've got enough alchohol to keep afloat!!

These are my favorite and they have trouble selling them even in Portugal. At Morrisons the lady on the fish counter called them "butcher cut" meaning the staff get to take them when the conservative customers wont.

Used to see them a lot in Cornish fishmongers. Confess I haven’t tried them, but I have been in the Gurnard Inn. Much beloved of the foodie followers, always featured regularly in Guardian😁
