Gurnard & Mackerel

Grilled gurnard and mackerel with a spicy calamari sauce served with a chick pea and tomato side salad...

Sainsbury's were selling the very ugly looking gurnard for 75p per fish so, never having tried it before, we bought a couple of them to see how they tasted..

We bought some makerel too just in case the gurnard wasn't very nice..

I cooked them with garlic and chilli and made a chili/calamari sauce to drizzy over both fish...

Very, very nice indeed and I'd recommend gurnard any day of the week...
Great shot - looks yummy!!

They are ugly but some of the ugliest fish are the best! Take John Dory for instance!

Good shot and writeup. The recipe sounds really good. We have mackerel in Mumbai but have not heard of gurnard.
