SEASONAL FOOD OF THE WEEK
Gurnard
Gurnard is an odd (or, to be less charitable, ugly) looking fish: slightly bulging eyes atop a pointed snout wearing a sulky pout. It is perhaps these aesthetic qualities, combined with a skeleton not designed for easy filleting, that accounts for it's relative culinary obscurity.
