Spotted
Gurnard (Pterygotrigla leptacanthus) Photographs
and Information
|
Also known as Latchet, Flying Gurnard and
Sharp-beaked Gurnard.
It has large pectoral fins that give the
false impression it can fly. The fins
are predominantly olive green with a large white-edged dark blue spot. The
predominant colour of the body is red with green and blue spots and splashes all over.
The head is large and bony with two sharp projections above the mouth. A
close relative, the Red Gurnard,
lacks these projections.
The Spotted Gurnard is plentiful around Australia on the Continental Shelf where it
grows to 50cm. It is a bottom dweller.
Did you know?
The name Gurnard or gurnet is derived from the French verb
grogner, which means "to grunt," the name refers to the sound
produced by the swim bladder when the fish is removed from the
water.

Cooking
Gurnard:
Gurnard has firm flesh, pink,
medium to low fat content and suitable for most methods of
cooking, suitable for sashimi.
Nutritional Value
Gurnard is rich in potassium and calcium.
Preparing
Remove the spiny fins to prevent injuries. Leave the fish
whole, or cut it into fillets or sections. The skin is easy to
remove.
Cooking
Gurnard tends to dry out if it is cooked at extremely high
temperatures. When grilling or baking gurnard with the skin on,
brush it generously with oil or a marinade to protect the
fragile skin. The gurnard is often added to bouillabaisse and
matelote. It is delicious when baked, poached, fried, or smoked.

Times for Fish
- Fish fillets – 5 minutes per 500g on medium-high, +50
seconds more for thicker fillets, or until flesh flakes
- Whole fish - Large – 6 minutes/750g on medium
