Haha thats awesome we go to Grand Cayman every year a few times a year because my aunt and uncle live there, anyway we get to spearfish them then when we come up after our first dive the person who watches the boat will cook us Seviche with lion fish so when we finish our second dive we come up and get to eat it. IT IS SOO GOOD. For you guys who dont know what Seviche is it is when you cook a fish in the acids of fruits and Veggies.

I heard it takes many hours for ceviche to be prepared. Properly anyhow.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I was diving in Belize a few weeks back... On my first dive, we had two large triggerfish follow us for the entire dive. I asked the dive master if she knew those fish personally. They were looking for lionfish handouts!
On the subsequent dives, we speared three or four, which were happily devoured by our companions.

The dive masters in Cozumel were also spearing them and feeding them to the triggers. The hope is that the triggers will eventually hunt live ones.

As divers we have speared many many lion fish and eaten even more. It's absolutely delicious! On Grand Cayman they encourage tourists to request lion fish on menus in restaurant to encourage more lion fish culls. So when traveling order lion fish.
We were diving in South Pacific where lion fish are supposed to be, they have natural predators there so you don't see them very often. In grand cayman where we dive there are so many lion fish despite the culling. Divers are trying to train the predator fish to eat them, such as snappers and groupers. However they seem to just follow divers around the reef mooching. Hopefully one of these species will figure it out but for now their only predator is humans with spear guns. We have spent some time at Little Cayman Marine Research Institute and they always are checking what the lion fish are eating etc. It's alarming how much these things eat off the reef. And they eat EVERYTHING!!! Check out their research and website at reefresearch.org My son (fishingoalie) wants to study marine sciences...I'd love him to spend some time studying on Little Cayman at the research institute. Eat lion fish!
