Gurnard Crumbed Fillets

Gurnard is one of New Zealand’s most recognised and best-loved fish. Easily identified by its distinctive bright orange-pink skin, wide pectoral fins, and firm, white flesh, it’s a small to medium coastal species found in shallower waters around the country, particularly off the South Island’s east coast. Gurnard is known for its slightly sweet flavour, fine texture, and moist, succulent fillet, making it a favourite for both home cooking and restaurant menus alike.
