Do you filet them up and eat them? Any quick filet tips or tasty recipes?
I read its a fatty fish, imaging a halibut?

Yes, they are really good. But I don't take the time to fillet anything smaller than the length from my pinky finger tip to my thumb tip (Yes, readers just looked at their hand, lol!)
Best fillet tip I can offer to make it quicker is ...Don't use your knife to remove the skin. It takes too long and cuts additional meat off. Instead after you score the spine and bottom of the fillet section, use your fingers to grab the corner of the skin and peel it off rather than cut it off. Much faster and more meat.
It's not fatty at all. It's a very firm, all white meat. My 2 favorites are grilled fish tacos and garden fresh Ceviche with chips. Both are so easy to make in minutes.
Our local seafood shops that sell lionfish are charging $18 per pound!!! That's more expensive than grouper and red snapper filets in the same counter.
