ID this fish please?

I was scrolling through my cell phone pics and found this one of some kind of toadfish(?) that I saw at an asian fish market once. I hope the pic is clear enough and any info on this fish(most importantly if it's fresh or saltwater) is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! Any idea on the species name? The people selling it called it a stonefish.

Semi-venomous on the first three spines on their backs--so I've read.. I recently purchased one of those guys. Very cool looking fish that hides all the time.
