Lionfish are such glorious fish. They are beautiful with their intricate stripes and extravagant feathery fin rays. These frequent reef inhabitants seem to do nothing much except gently float about, making them an easy target for underwater photographers. Lionfish are by definition one of the most photogenic creatures and the only bad angle I have ever seen captured has been entirely the fault of the photographer.
Simply put, Lionfish are the ultimate posers. Until I went to Mexico I just filed them into the Pretty Fish Category.
I already knew that their fin rays were poisonous and this has always blended in nicely with my golden rule of not touching shit underwater. But I had no idea that these Pretty Fish were voracious fuckers; gluttonous pigs. And in Mexico there was a new rule I learned when it came down to the lovely Lionfish.
Kill them. Kill 'em all. And make ceviche if you have limes handy.
Here's a great article by Christie Wilcox that takes the reader more in depth about the global Lionfish invasion. And if you want a delicious ceviche recipe you can browse the World Lionfish Hunters webpage for culinary tips and killing techniques.
