So which is more correct, Sea robin or Gurnard?
I had (up until now) never heard the term sea robin as a vernacular for this group.
Possibly another US / UK problem (for example starfish and sea stars)
But if anyone knows how to change the actual article to encompass the (aka Gurnard) it might remove some initial confusion.
I was told the sea robin was poisonous and you cannot eat it. Is this true?
Yes I think its very much true, I caught four sea robins this evening. I was about toss them over board due to their ugly looking nature and don't want to mention the weird noise they were making when caught, but the guy fishing next to me told he will happily taken them home for his dinner. He did say they are very tasty, but for me their look is not that palatable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.191.175.232 (talk) 03:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
