sting!
Oh yeah. Forgot about that part. The spines have poison. I would imagine if you are allergic to bee stings, this may cause more than a little problem. Anyway, be careful.
They make an amazing soup. Gut and gill. Reserve head and carcass for stock. Make stock with onion, celery, garlic, bay, salt, pepper, parsley. Strain it all out. Then take stock and put some small red potatoes in and cook till almost done. cut sculpin in large chunks, skin on or off, toss in the stock. when your fish is done, squeeze in fresh lemon, drizzle with oil oil and add lots of fresh parsley. Don't forget some good crusty break and a nice chilled pinot grigio!
Mangia!
