Has anyone tried Lionfish? They started selling it at alot of wholefoods in my area, and im not a huge fish guy, but im intrigued to try it.

So, if it's looking to the left, it's bad?
If it's looking to the right, it's good?

I think they are saying a good lion fish is a dead lion fish

they are an invasive species that is basically obliterating life on coral reefs

>In November 2010, for the first time the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary began licensing divers to kill lionfish inside the sanctuary in an attempt to eradicate the fish.

if you ever go scuba diving in the caribbean/south east US and want to help the environment, bring a gun with you and shoot as many lionfish as you can

I grew up on the ocean and lion fish were the bane of my existence. Worse than running into a fucking shark. Never actually ate one though.

What's wrong with them? I mean, what do they do?

Their spikes have hardcore poison. I didn't know about them being invasive growing up, I just knew to stay the fuck away whenever I saw one, just hovering ominously there in the water.

Venomous. Venom is injected, poison is ingested.

They're invasive and ruin reefs mainly, but those long fins they have are actually venomous spines that can give you a painful sting.

i have seen were divers, use scissors to cut the spines off well they are on the spears, so the divers don't get stuck by the spines latter.
