Lionfish Cookbook

By Hklbrries

For information about this interesting, destructive (and very poisonous!) fish, go to: http://eol.org/pages/212303/overview (If you've never been to the Encyclopedia of Life before (eol.org), it is FASCINATING!)

When snorkeling Biscayne National Park (nps.gov/bisc) or John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park (pennekamppark.com), keep your eye out for the dramatic lionfish - an invasive species with a voracious appetite, no natural enemies, and a robust reproductive system that scientists predict will wreak havoc on reef life. Cook them up according to the recipes in Tricia Ferguson and Lad Akins's "Lionfish Cookbook" (Reef Environmental Education Foundation, 2010)...

A unique blend of tantalizing recipes, and information about the lionfish invasion and its impact. Eat 'em to beat 'em!



Invasive lionfish are a new threat to western Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico waters. With voracious appetites and few native predators lionfish impacts to native marine are likely to be severe. That lionfish are delicious table fare with a delicate buttery flavor may be our best hope for helping to remove the fish and minimize its impacts. As Bermuda has so aptly coined, we need to “Eat ‘em to Beat ‘em”!
This book is a unique blend of tantalizing recipes, background on the lionfish invasion and its impacts as well as information on how to safely catch handle and prepare the fish. Proceeds from the sale of this book will support REEF’s marine conservation and lionfish research and removal programs.
