No bigger curse in the world than to taste like chicken.
This is the best idea so far to control the population of lion fish, a good recipe!

AC, What is that rash across your lower chest/upper abdomen? Did you get stung?

No credit to me someone else posted it last year and I just happened to remember the video.

It was good, quite boney but if you eat it with your hands real easy to work around them. And yeah the seasoning shakers I got are huge from spog i need to break them down to smaller containers so i can control the flow easier. seasonings werent OVER done though. came out quite well.

Martin - No I got lucky, I think i got him while he was sleeping or something. I had to sneak up on him real stealth like though so not to surprise or awaken it!

I am one who has defended spear fishing as a ethical way to harvest fish to eat. Having said that, I wish those who participate would first take the time to learn to identify the fish they want to harvest and not just kill something hoping it will be good to eat.

i did, i was just wrong but grunt was good eating as well. ive since started really researching which fish, and how big etc. Trust me I dont wanna kill anything Im not going to eat. It broke my heart to kill that lion fish.

Don't feel too bad LOL

Seems like LION FISH are on the hit list these days your only mistake was not eating it LOL you will know better next time especially as you now have a video tutorial of how to prep it

Did I mention it tastes like chicken LOL

There was bounty on Lion Fish not that long ago. Go ahead and eat as many as you want.

Never EVER feel bad about takin' a lion fish down. Vile creatures.

Vile is a bit much? They're not indiginous and are voracious, thats all. Nature will balance it. I saw my first one in Belize at Half Moon Caye last week. Stunning fish, but dont feel bad taking them out.
