The only "fault" I found with the article is that it said it is difficult for scientists to find red lionfish in the wild. I just saw two juveniles from North Carolina caught by a local diver at a LFS. They can't be THAT difficult to find. The rest of the article was fascinating, as well as rather scary.

In the meantime, Meister jokingly suggests a transitional strategy: recruiting coastal chefs to develop recipes for red lionfish. Everyone knows that "as soon as a fish tastes good, there's a market for it"â€"and soon, he quips, you see it fished to oblivion.


hmmm..... anyone want to "donate" for some recipee creativity time " :lol:
