No, there's no way to avoid the weever fish except shoes or looking carefully (rather impractical). We had a lady who got anaphylactic shock from a weever fish - very scary. Company policy (sailing school) is to take anyone stung by one to hospital - it can be nasty.
Those fish look great Tony - wish we could get 'em round here.
