Method
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5.
Place the gurnard in a pan, season and add half of the fish stock.
Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes until just cooked.
Meanwhile put the mussels in a pan with the rest of the fish stock and wine, cover with a lid and cook on a high heat for 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan whilst cooking until they are all open.
Strain the juice through a fine meshed sieve into a pan and reduce on a medium heat until you have a couple spoonfuls.
Add the cream, bring to the boil then whisk in the butter and season.
Meanwhile remove the mussels from the shell leaving 16 or so in the shell.
Add the mussels and herbs to the sauce and heat gently.
To serve transfer the fish to warmed serving plates and spoon the mussels and sauce around.
