Would you settle for ill-tempered sea bass?

No need to "teach" anything to eat lionfish, the goliath grouper should eat them at every opportunity. Bet you won't find any lions in places with a bunch of goliaths on site....

Not so-- Just got back from 3 weeks in the Keys, & they are all over the Florida Bay, along with a bunch of Jewfish.[IMG][/img]

Thedamn things are incredible good eating. You would be surprised. Don't waste them on the sharks!
In was in Honduras recently and they had a shark dive and that (lionfish) is what they fed the sharks!

I had it in ceviche, sushi and fried. One of the best eating fish I've had
