[Coral-List] Lionfish finally reached Roatan

[Elizabeth Brill]

Check out breef.org.

And maybe this will help: http://www.breef.org/InvasiveSpecies/Lionfish/tabid/91/Default.aspx

BREEF {and others} have been encouraging eating lionfish and are  
addressing education, safe handling, cleaning, etc.  I think I even  
recall seeing a recipe in one of their newsletters, so maybe it's on  
their website. . .

Buon appetito!
