Sea robin
Encyclopedia
Sea robins, also known as gurnard, are bottom-feeding scorpaeniform fish
es in the family Triglidae. They get their name from their large pectoral fins, which, when swimming, open and close like a bird's wings in flight.
They are bottom dwelling fish, living at depths of up to 200 m (656.2 ft). Most species are around 30 centimetre in length. They have an unusually solid skull, and many species also possess armored plates on the body. Another distinctive feature is the presence of a "drumming muscle" that makes sounds by beating against the swim bladder. When caught, they make a croaking noise similar to a frog.
Sea robins have six spiny "legs", three on each side. These legs are actually flexible spines that were once part of the pectoral fin. Over time, the spines separated themselves from the rest of the fin, developing into feeler-like "forelegs." The pelvic fins have been thought to let the fish "walk" on the bottom, but are really used to stir up food. The first three rays of the pectoral fins are membrane free and used for chemoreception.
Sea robins have sharp spines on their gill plates and dorsal fins that inject a mild poison, causing slight pain for two to three days.

, and are often caught when fishing for more desirable fish, such as striped bass
. They are primarily caught by casting a chunk of meat near the seafloor, where they actively feed. Mackerel is said to be the most efficient in catching sea robins, but other fish meat, such as bunker, will also work. Lure fishing can also be successful if presented near the substrate.When caught, they put up a fight, but not nearly as close as to other fish. Many anglers will leave these fish to die on land out of dislike, which is why it is the featured species at pop culture websites like garbagefish.com.

As food
Sea robin flesh is described as firm and tender when cooked. The fish serves as an adequate replacement to rascasse, or scorpionfishScorpionfish
Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfish, are a family of mostly marine fish that includes many of the world's most venomous species. As the name suggests, scorpionfish have a type of "sting" in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. The family is a large one, with hundreds of members. They are...
