Can you Eat "Clown Knives" Fish?

I was just given a very large fish tank w/ two very large clown knives, I am thinking I will convert the tank to Salt water, so I think that would kill the fish, since the fish are almost already dead can i eat them? Should I BBQ them or Grill them in a pan? Any Wine pairings that would be best?
Thank you for all the answers, the recipe sounds really good I think that is the direction I'll be leaning in.

Yes, they are definitely edible, the people of Laos actually have a recipe for them.

Mok Pa Fok
A kind of steamed fish pâté

1 pound Pa tong (Clown Knives Fish)
2 Shallots
4 white peppercorns (or nearly 1 teaspoonful of prepared white pepper)
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup coconut cream
1 teaspoonful salt
½ teaspoonful MSG (optional)
2 teaspoonfuls nam pa (fish sauce)
2 or 3 small chilli peppers
some sprigs of dill

- Scale your piece of Clown Knives fish. Remove the flesh, discarding such bones as you can but ignoring the fine ones. Chop up the flesh and then pound it very fine.
- Pound the shallots and the white peppercorns and combine them with the fish. Add the beaten eggs, the coconut cream, the salt and the MSG. Mix the whole well, so that it is of a smooth and creamy consistency and put it in little banana leaf baskets. Steam these for about 15 minutes. Or, if you wish, you may roast them on a charcoal fire.
- Decorate the fish pâté (which is to be left in its banana leaf baskets) with thin rounds of chilli pepper (produced by slicing the peppers crosswise) and tiny feathers of dill leaf.

Doesn't sound very appetizing though...
I've also heard of turning them into fish balls...
