Can't open file. If it's a puffer. It's good eating if you know how to clean it.

If you don't, learn. It will turn you into a zombie if you don't know what you're doing.
The majority of pufferfish species are toxic and some are among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. In certain species, the internal organs, such as the liver, and sometimes their skin, contain tetrodotoxin and are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan (as 河豚, pronounced fugu), Korea (as 복 ,bok, or 복어, bogeo), and China (as 河豚, hétún) when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity. Other pufferfish species with nontoxic flesh, such as the northern puffer, Sphoeroides maculatus, of Chesapeake Bay,[2] are considered a delicacy elsewhere.[3]

There was movie by Wes Craven called The Serpent and the Rainbow, very loosely based on a book of the same name by Wade Davis, in which Davis investigated an alleged case of a dude turned into a zombie. He was supposedly poisoned with pufferfish toxin (tetrodotoxin) - at least that was on of the ingredients. Interesting.

There won't be much meat on that little guy anyway....I wouldn't bother with it or take the chance of preparing it incorrectly, personally. I believe the saying goes..."there's more fish in the sea"

Can’t open the file to view the photo. But if the fish is as ugly as your description could
it be a monk fish in FL?

The northern puffer found in Long Island NY area...is called the chicken of the sea...delicious & is not toxic. The ones down in the proximity of corral reefs may be toxic based on their diet. The northern puffer is the one with the sandpaper skin. If it's a slimy puffer let it go...
