Piranha 76 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 they can be a real pestfish but are eaten by some fishos down this way, I'm told the flesh is pretty good but they have a lot of bones that are hard to remove when filleting.cheers wes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vapor 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 we get them a lot on the prawn boats, just to make sure you all know they can cause SERIOUS pain for up to 8 hours you could be vomiting or even pass out..not a good fish to play with at all :)if you do get spiked by one get it straight under the hottest water you can handle and put a pressure bandage on above it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigred88 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 well its obviosly a deep sea fish with them big eyes. the gurnard/scorpion fish / stone fish is good eating with white flesh but has to be filleted propely it isnt a gurnard beacause it doseent look like one at all gurnards have mouths at the bottom more like a catfish lol , could easily be a new species of deep water fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
