TOTALLY! They produce a chemical 1200 times more deadly poisonous than cyanide! Although why anyone would even slightly entertain the notion of eating a fish (or any other animal for that matter!) without knowing what exactly what it is,is way beyond me....i mean its just plain asking for trouble right????....

Intrested to know more about this fish you mentioned.
The only one that comes to my mind is a 'skorfna' scorpion fish.
My grandmother use to make the best soup with their heads. But watch out for their spikes!

With scorpion fishes it depends on the individual as the reaction to the sting can differ,but usually its extremely painful but not deadly.
What you need to do is put some hot liquid on the sting as soon as possible (straight away if you can) as the heat breaks down the poison's active ingredient..which is probably why its manly cooked in soup,it deactivates the poison,apart from the fact it does make an awesome soup..Well the french provencal chefs consider it a must for Bouillabaisse soup,and lets face it who would argue with the french (or itailians) about food!!! ;D
I think it's a puffer fish.
from what i know the japs eat it but they have a special way to cut it and still many persons are known to die from its poison.
I am sure we dont have puffer fish in Malta ........................DUH
Yes we do mate..ok probably not that many but they're here...:)

in the east coast there are quite a few
they are more often found in Gozo area Shannok
12 years ago we had an invasion of them.
Thanks guys....never caught one and hopefully i will not.............
There are lots of them but they are not seen so much since there mouth is like a shutter and slices the nylon...
Once we went with a long line with wire trace before the hook and caught some of them
is this fish poisonous to handle? or just not good to eat?
it is poisonous only to eat. just to add something: that giant of a fish that we call mola is also a pufferfish and contains poison. DO NOT EAT!
