I've pulled some weird stuff out of the Bayou...but this is the weirdest.  Fins that look like wings and small feet.  Any ideas what this is?  Toadfish maybe?

Thanks, I guess the next question is: are they good for anything?

They make good cut bait.  Flounders love sea robin strips.

Yep,Sea Robin. Not good for anything human wise but it didn't ask too look like that so let it go. Somethings got to clean up the mess of endangered Red Snapper on the gulf floor!

There are about a dozen sea robin species- the one in your picture is Prionotus tribulus, the Bighead Sea Robin.  If you catch a sea robin hook-and-line, the vast majority of the time it is this species.  They're totally harmless- no venom, no nasty bite- and they feed on things buried in the mud, like polychaete worms.  The meat is edible but there isn't much of it. 

I second their presence in an aquarium- they are so interesting to watch but shouldn't be kept with anything aggressive.  Had one as an undergrad that would take food from your hands.

Up noth we eat the sea robin's ,as long as they are about 5lb or better, we use the skin for  (Fluke ) Flounder here.The meat is white and good. Filet the fish and try them .Almost as good as blow fish (chicken of the sea).
