Thanks guys, but none of these seemed to work:
Ben's first suggestion of '\%51l\_.\{-}\zsblobfish' was mistaken for a
file path:
"\TEMP\tmp\'\%51l\_\{-}\zsblobfish'" [New file]

As for omitting the '+' before the line number, that was also mistaken
for a file path:
<lobfish\;call search('blobfish','c')" [New file]

Christian's '\%>51lblobfish' merely opened the file without attempting
a search, which is a pity as it would have been an elegant solution.

It could be that you are providing only a fragment and I am stuffing
up somewhere else on the line. Maybe if you could furnish the full
line it might help. Sorry to prevail so much on your time.
It really isn't too important now as I have a working solution, albeit
a rather inelegant one:
gvim --servername HgVim --remote-silent "+51;/blobfish/;call
search('blobfish','c')" fish.cpp
