The description and the Italian recipes of the sea fish
The red scorpionfish can grow up to 23,60 in (60 cm) , but the common length is from 7,87 in (20cm) up to 11,81 in (30 cm). Its colour is very variable, due to the fact that is a mimetic fish; usually is brown-greenish with darker spots. Also black qualities are available, of same value. The smaller scorpionfish called "scorfanotto" , is instead less valued.
It is suitable for many preparations: simply boiled, in the soups, sliced. It is delicious in sauces for pasta and spaghetti. Unfortunately it is also very bony, so a careful cleansing of scorpion fish is required.

The dorsal fin will have 11 to 17 spines, often long and separated from each other, and the pectoral fins will be well-developed, with 11 to 25 rays.
