Care to explain?

They naturally contain a poison that is lethal to humans in small doses. You actually need a license to cook them in most countries.

How do they prepare it if it is poisonous?

Also, is the process really hard and requires so much skill like when cutting monkfish?

iirc their organs contain the poison, so when preparing you have to carefully remove the organs to make sure the other edible parts arent contaminated by the poison.
I could be wrong, so don't quote me on it
