Paralysis, seizures, and death are possible but are usually restricted to stonefish poisoning. The young and elderly are more susceptible to the venom than healthy adults. Death is rare, but some people are allergic to the venom and may suffer anaphylactic shock.
Australian hospitals keep stonefish anti-venom on hand. For other species and for stonefish first aid , the first step is to remove the victim from water to prevent drowning.
Vinegar may be applied to reduce pain, while the venom may be inactivated by immersing the sting site in hot water for 30 to 90 minutes. Tweezers should be used to remove any remaining spines and the area should be scrubbed with soap and water and then flushed with fresh water. Medical care is required for all scorpionfish, lionfish, and stonefish stings, even if the venom appears to be deactivated. It's important to be certain that no spine remnants remain in the flesh.
A tetanus booster may be recommended. Most species of scorpionfish have not been evaluated in terms of conservation status. The luna lionfish Pterois lunulata and red lionfish Pterois volitans are also the least concern. The population of red lionfish, an invasive species, is increasing.
While no significant threats face scorpionfish at this time, they may be at risk from habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

Be aware if you do keep them, they stay alive on ice for a looong time so it really does pay to kill them when you catch them to stop unexpected movement when filleting.
HOT water does help with the pain. They are quite a common catch on Sunshine reef at Noosa and is rare to not bring a couple home. The wait is finally over Re: eating scorpion fish Thanks for the tip Any Weather. They have some interesting stuff on the show they had an octopus battle a few weeks back and as with the fish they were alive and big , the chefs had to restle them out of the tank and then kill them.
They always have top shelf ingredients. Choppa the food did, always mostly exept for soup with chicken legs sticking out the top of the bowl looks good. Re: eating scorpion fish Speaking of Fugu fish, was in tokyo recently, theres a restaurant with a massive Fugu fish on the shop front like the big pineapple.
Apparently Fugu is a good taste but theres too much trust involved especially if the chef has a bad day cheers Mike. Join us. Mom, if you're watching this and I don't make it alive today, I love you.
Chef: So I first came across scorpion fish, I had a restaurant on the cape, Provincetown. It's line-caught, short-line caught, so it's generally one person going out fishing for generally not the scorpion fish because they couldn't really sell this at market.
A lot of the people who would buy the fish generally in market after the fisherman caught them, they didn't wanna deal with it for two reasons. They thought it was too spiny and that it was venomous. But it's not poisonous. There's a difference between poisonous and venomous. Poisonous is if you eat it you can get sick. Venomous, you actually have to be injected. Herrine: Finally, it was my turn to meet the fish. That is a gnarly looking fi I didn't know it was like gonna be that bright.
Chef: No, you're pretty safe. Once they're dead, the venom can't be injected into you, but you're safe. The thing about it, it's very hard to source, hard to find. Herrine: OK, so were just gonna, OK, oh. I mean, it is a pretty fish. I take it back. It's not an ugly fish. It's just very spiny. Chef: So here at Fine and Rare, our take on scorpion fish is we do it for lunch exclusively right now, and we thought it'd be fun to do a take on fish and chips. And only for me when I butcher it, you just gotta be careful not to prick yourself with some of the porcupines on the fish.
