Pterois radiata
Common lionfish
Family Scorpaenidae. Lionfishes are conspicuous fish with long pectral
and dorsal fins and characteristic color. But the spines of their long
fins are venomous, and if you are stung by them, you feel terrible pain.
If you see this fish in the sea, you must not touch it. Lionfish is not
on the market, but if you eat it, it tastes good. |
