We had two grunion runs during our recent stay at Punta Bufeo. There may have been more, since the Cortez grunion are both diurnal and nocturnal spawners.

Usually, on the third or fourth day AFTER a spring tide (never,I believe, on a neap tide) and when there is a little wave action. They don't seem to like large surf, but they do need a bit of action to assist their return to the water.

We harvest a few, just enough for us for dinner. Unlike the Pacific grunion, the Cortez version has scales they we find large enough to be annoying, so I knock a few off and eviserate them leaving the head—which makes a good second handle for eating.

Our method of cooking is to roll them in seasoned bread crumbs, then egg, then crumbs again, and fry them in HOT oil. It just takes a few seconds in 450-Fdeg. oil. They're pretty tasty, and so damned easy to prepare.
