Tequilla with lionfish fin tips in the bottle.

Maybe a NatGeo "Lionfish Week"? Their Shark Week shows portraying sharks as voracious man-eaters continue to desensitize the world against shark killing.

Ok...off my soapbox now

Unlike sharks Lionfish (at least in the Atlantic) deserve death. Took my first spine, in my index finger, 3 1/2 hours ago.

OMG..... How bad is it?

 

[gopbroek]

Incredibly painful, I think I am over the hump though, swelling and pain up into wrist and elbow has subsided. Just the index and middke finger and associated knuckles throbbing. I am going to give it 2 more hours and then I am going up to Shaka's for a beer.

Cute, but the REAL rumor to start is that ONLY Lionfish from the Atlantic are aphrodisiacs....those from the Pacific are poisonous.

Are Carribean lionfish found outside the Atlantic?

Are Carribean lionfish found outside the Atlantic?

Only in their native habitats.

Doesn't sound Carribean to me.
