If these lionfish invaded california, I believe that it would be exterminated within one year. californians especially the asians will gobble it up.

5 years ago we were in the bahamas & several resorts had aquariums featuring the lionfish. 1 particular 100,000+ gallon aquarium in Atlantis (Nassau) had probably 100+ plus volitans lionfish. It was somewhat of a novelty for people who didnt know about the looming disaster.

This past summer we toured southern florida, the keys & the barrier reef. Biologist on the boat said that natural predators like gators, sharks, groupers, etc werent even puttting a dent in the lionfish numbers- it was mostly humans getting their numbers down.

What else could it be used for besides sushi? what other use could fresh fish be used for?
when I was looking for those pics I saw a bunch of traditional fish dishes made with them but the pics did not look cool enough to post. lol. there was even a lionfish cook book out there.
