Scartichthys gigas, the giant blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Pacific ocean, from Panama to northern Chile. Members of this species feed primarily off of plants (including benthic algae and weeds), crustaceans, and small mollusks and they themselves are caught for human consumption, being made into the mildly narcotic soup barrocho. This species reaches a length of 22.2 centimetres (8.7 in) SL.
