Read about this invasive fish and the devastation it’s causing in the Caribbean in an article I wrote recently. It’s terrible! Do your part to help by eating them whenever/wherever you can. They’re delicious.

Thanks so much for writing this. We are proud to feature your article! We also have a major lionfish problem here in Costa Rica, too, along our Caribbean side.
Thanks again and look forward to working with you.
