shermans Tale Sea Robina Robin, also called Gurnard, is an underutilized but plentiful fish species

nd in warm and temperate seas of the world. Because of its abundance in the

ers off southern New England especially during this time in the fishing season

ea robin is a tasty and sustainable choice.

robins are elongated fish with armoured, bony heads and two dorsal fins. Their

toral fins are fan-shaped, with the bottom few rays each forming separate

ers. These feelers are used by the fishes in walking on the bottom and in

sing mollusks, crustaceans, and other bottom-dwelling prey. Sea robins are

ally brightly coloured, and some have ornately patterned pectoral fins. Sea

ins are also vocal and can produce audible sounds with their swim bladders and

tain attached muscles. Along the American Atlantic, the common sea robin

onotus carolinus) is noted for its sound production. The largest species of sea

ins grow about 28 inches long.

a new spin on whole Sea Robin, try out thisItalian-style Fish Stew.

utritionist Notes Peachesches are naturally low in calories and contain no saturated fats. They are packed

h numerous health promoting vitamins and minerals. Fresh peaches are a veryd source of antioxidant vitamin C, A, and beta-carotene. They are also rich in

ny minerals such as potassium, fluoride and iron. Iron is required for red blood

formation. Fluoride is a component of bones and teeth and is important for

vention of dental caries. Potassium is an important component of cell and body

ds that help regulate heart rate and blood pressure.
