Has anyone here tried this?
They serve this in Jamaica. We went there last year for a week and it’s really good. They are a venomous fish with about 18 inch dorsal needle like fins- for protection.
We were out on a sail boat with a tour guide who showed us the fish and explained how venomous they were and if stung, very painful to humans, but not deadly.
Yes, Lionfish is Excellent!
Went scuba diving in Belize to do the Blue Hole dive.
On the Live aboard dive boat, our captain would stop by a cove or reef to spearfish these footlong+ very poisonous colorful fish.
Back aboard the boat, he’d cut off the deadly dorsal fins very carefully, fillet and cook it for us.
It was delicious sweet tender meat!
It’s now found in restaurant menus around the Carribean.
Lionfish population is now way down as a result of this effort.
RE:”Has anyone here tried it?”
No, but I have eaten Sea Bass, which is not bass, but is a hideously ugly fish. It’s delicious.
We catch them when I, use to, vacation in Cozumel. It is like a bluegill fry. Pain in the ass to prepare but anything is good deep fried.
