New York has attached these pictures to the Fire Island Reef. I believe that is an error.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is ny09_shinnecock_ss.jpg — Note the large rectangular structure at lower-left. This is the drydock, with a raised spine down the center which is visible in the pictures. The walls have fallen.

Sea Raven

Sea Raven

Hemitripterus americanus

Size
to 25" and 7 lbs.

Description:
The fleshy tabs around the head and ragged-looking dorsal fin are identifying characteristics of Scorpionfish like the Sea Raven. The eye is also very strange looking. These fishes prefer cooler waters and disappear when it warms up. Tropical and Pacific relatives including the introduced Lionfish have poisonous spines, but our species is harmless. Some people eat them, but I find them to be among the most interesting and obliging photo subjects in our waters.
