The red irish lord, is a species of fish in the family Cottidae. It is a bottom-dwelling fish that lives primarily in shallow, rocky reefs, near shore. They exist from the Bering Sea south to Central California. Their bodies are long and tapering, almost round in cross section; body and fins red and brown with black mottling and spots. The colorful red irish lord lays its egg masses in intertidal areas during the spring. Adults feed on crabs, barnacles, and mussle. Anglers only occasionally catch this edible sculpin.
