Ok the first link was really cool, I think I identified the fish in picture 10 of my album as a Red Gurnard Perch!
Though that is my first attempt so could be way off...

Well according to google there are lots of types of gurnards, gurnard perches or just perches so I am guessing they are all different. Confusing!
Your picture does not look like the one I have of the fish but perhaps they are related somehow.
(I've now figured out how to put the pictures in properly to my posts unfortunately they have been compressed and now don't look so great 
).

It looks like red gurnard perch. AKA a sea perch or ocean perch. They are members of the family Scorpaenidae (scorpion fish).
Proper Gurnards are from the family Triglidae.
Proper Seaperches along with Rock Cods are from the family Serranidae
