Yesterday was a new, unique experience. I shot a lionfish with my ELF, just a small one, maybe 4" long. i pulled it back out from under the coral head where it was hiding. I was getting ready to pull out the knife to finish it off and was planning to drop it on the sand to let something scavenge it.......except a yellow tail snapper that was watching closely had a different plan. With me holding the fish on the ELF right in front of me and my wife, the snapper darted in and ate it right off the ELF! One bite and the whole thing was gone. I was wondering what had developed a taste for the little buggers and obviously the snappers have.....cool! :clapping:
 
If snappers ever developed a taste for human flesh we'd ALL be doomed. :shark:
 
We had the Lionfish dish at bistro de Paris on Friday, yum!!!!
 
They had a lionfish tasting event last Friday night at Bistro de Paris. WOW! It was all very good, the cerviche, fried, pancakes (yes, really pancakes) but the smoked lionfish was to die for.....at least the lionfish did. We had some fried filets for dinner this evening.....excellent!
 
I guess we missed it. I thought it was the Friday before last. Oh well, at least we got to try it! We went to taste of Bonaire last Friday and had some mighty tasty food! Missing Bonaire already...
 
Cactus Blue down south in the trailer where the kite surfers are has a lionfish burger that is awesome. $8 and worth every penny. Full filet of Lionfish
