According to Wikipedia, Lionfish is a type of venomous marine fish, found mostly in the Indo-Pacific. It is characterized by, among other things, venomous spiky fins. However, like the more famous venomous blowfish, it appears you can eat it, if correctly prepared as the linked article shows.

Is a lionfish a fish?

Aside from instances of larger lionfish individuals engaging in cannibalism on smaller individuals, adult lionfish have few identified natural predators. This is likely due to the effectiveness of their venomous spines. Moray eels (family Muraenidae), bluespotted cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) and large groupers, like the tiger grouper (Mycteroperca tigris) and Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus), have been observed preying on lionfish. It remains unknown, however, as to how commonly these predators prey on lionfish. Sharks are also believed to be capable of preying on lionfish with no ill-effects from its spines.
