You are totally right!

It’s not poisonous it’s venomous. Big difference!
Gerardo Ochoa-VargasNovember 25, 2013 at 7:01 am
Go for it! 🙂

Like flounder, like grouper… it is very good, tasty and nice.

I understand what you say, Anderson, but yes, it is a terrible, incredible
problem. Some specimens are even 47 cm/18.5 inches in size, so imagine how
many other fish they had eaten to reach such size. Google about the
invasion, you’ll see that is a true catastrophe. And thanks for sharing the
facts you brought!

I had a lion fish as a pet so watching this was sad for me. But I
understand that there population needs to be controlled. My lion fish would
eat like 6 gold fish in a minute

it has been seen in trinidad and tobago … time to eat good
Gerardo Ochoa-VargasNovember 25, 2013 at 9:45 am
It really is 🙂

I carry a container with me which has an inverted funnel and holds even 20
lionfish in each dive (you rarely get more than that number in a given
dive). But your method sounds interesting, perhaps for areas that have a
bigger problem than us currently in Cayman Islands.

centimeters my a**!

grilled and fried works perfectly too. Some people like it in ceviche but
the meat is a bit sweet for that purpose, in my opinion. The microwave is a
wonderful tool but notice I play with the settings. If you just put the
time and press start, the microwave is in the highest potency, so things
became horrible. I should be preparing another video soon, on how to fillet
it.

is this a joke lol ?

I just read that in some places lionfish have wiped out 80% of of local
fish species. Really tragic. Now I want to eat them! I think I’ll use a
grill or pan though for this recipe, not a big fan of the microwave. Great
prep video!

@KrazyKid1110 yes mate, garlic rules!
Manuel De LunaNovember 25, 2013 at 2:06 pm
You are a biologist by any chance? I say it because of you investigating
what species of fish the lion had been eating isn’t something people do
commonly.
Jelle vanderVeldeNovember 25, 2013 at 2:36 pm
Yeah Gerardo! GARLIC!!!
Geo MyrieNovember 25, 2013 at 2:55 pm
yummy…im so hungry now. the id man! grrr.
Gerardo Ochoa-VargasNovember 25, 2013 at 3:14 pm
@teamunreel19 entirely serious. One of the best fish you can eat, grouper
quality. Why would you assume this is a joke?
Gerardo Ochoa-VargasNovember 25, 2013 at 4:00 pm
@KrazyKid1110 I should guess it. Great nick!
Gerardo Ochoa-VargasNovember 25, 2013 at 4:31 pm
No Kevin. The fish is venomous, not poisonous. That means that it stings
with its venomous spines, but once you take them out (as I did) there are
safe for consumption. I’d be cautious with those around Puerto Rico and
Virgin Islands due to the presence of ciguatera in those waters, but you’d
better ask locals if you visit those places.
