Lionfish Invasion, Part 3

The final part of “The Lionfish Invasion” demonstrates that lionfish can be safely caught, cleaned, cooked, eaten and sold.  In fact, eating lionfish may be one of the only ways to stem their spread! We hope this video will help make Bahamians, and others throughout the Carribbean, aware of the threats of lionfish – and show them not to fear lionfish, but to eat ’em.

  2. OK, you have convinced me that a Lionfish could be good to eat. The next one I catch on Boulder Creek will be my entree! Nice film though. Miss you.

  3. Excellent video! Very informative and well put together. You guys should create a profile on The Bahamas Got Talent to inform more Bahamians.

    Nice work.

  4. Really wonderful videos! Next time I am in Hopetown, I’ll grab my spear and get me some Lionfish to eat. Yum. Maybe the Bahamas can export lionfish (the food version) to Kentucky!

  5. Great video!! We’re heading to Abaco next week and bringing our lionfish spear!

    Okay, Lindsey and Matt-…and Gary-

    This had my mouth watering. We’ll be over for some when we come down in April! Get the fry pan ready……excellent video.

  7. Is there a restaurant in Abaco that has Lion Fish on the menu? Looks like it is real good.

    • Right now no one in Abaco is serving lionfish regularly, but if we keep asking for it, I bet they will get it on the tables. There are plenty to be caught.

  8. I recently went on the Utila Aggressor. The crew taught us about the Lionfish invasion and supplied spears for us to hunt Lion fish. I found it challenging, but it was so much fun. Once we had enough fish, we had Lionfish ceviche and it was delicious.

  9. Very informative video. I’ve always been afraid to eat lionfish (as it’s been rumored to be poisonous), but watching this has definitely changed my perspective. Thank you! Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!

  10. let’s get thses on the menu everywhere, they are great.
