Eating

They are good eating but be very careful because those spines are poisonous and verrry painful.

If you get a sting from one you need lots of hot water on the area, as hot as you can bear and if no water available pee on it.

Wouldn't the  Hot water increase the blood circulation? therfore spreading the posion or is it local pain simular to a stingers?

Opposite

Tue, 2010-05-04 18:04

With stings from fish it works the opposite to land animal/insect stings. The hot water breaks down the protiens in the venom.

If you get stung by a gurnard/cobbler/small ray on say your finger, you're whole hand is going to hurt and usually its going to bleed like a stuck pig.

often they are reffered to

often they are reffered to as poor mans crayfish, very nice eating white flesh, for me the risk og getting stung is too much to bother, even when dead they will put you in alot of pain for a fair while, but if you are game as said very nice eating
