I’LL PASS. I’LL STICK WITH BASIC FISH IN THE OCEAN.
@ConsensusXdunno about flounder but many species of tuna are endangered and they are categorically high in mercury. These fish are an invasive pest and particularly low in mercury. It’s not like fugu either where the preparation is super precise with dire consequences. Just clip the spines and get cookin
The whole point is it’s saving the reef dude
You gotta be slow
❤❤❤❤ yo that looks really good
Listen to me I’m Jamaican I had this fried there in Jamaica and I can’t forget that taste I don’t like fish cuz of the bones but damn lion fish is amazing really good meat
Awesome. Great recipe.
Modern problems require modern recipes

I’m all for sustainability!
For sustainability’s sake we need to eat them all, they’re aggressively invasive to the East coast, Gulf and Caribbean.
Nice kicker and when catching and eating your dinner is helpful to the local habit. Looks scary and delicious
This is good and all that but since the climate is changing and there isn’t enough political will to drastically change our way of life the reefs are fucked anyways.
Fk that lionship!!!! Once I heard venomous I was over it!!!! ☠️😵💫
Ignorance
i wanna try lionfish so bad!! you think i can find it in asian markets??
She didint remove the venom sacks ☠️
lionfish venom is only present in the spines, no venom sacks. 🤡🤡🤡
It doesn’t matter if she didint remove them or not, their venom is protein based so if you cook it, it denatures it.
it’s protein based, anything protein based basically gets dissolved by heat..
that’s why the venom isn’t that lethal cuz ur body heats up enough to neutralize the venom.
Pufferfish poison on the otherhand though..
Its some good eating!😊
Eating the ‘DEADLY” Lion Fish………… “Its not lethal”.. >>>DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CHANNEL
It’s venom not poison. You can actually consume their venom no issue. It’s also protein based so essentially just cooks away. Plus production stops when they die so likely there is only a little residue in that fish.
Excuse me, you are supposed to remove the spines and fins before preparing that to eat. Lionfish no longer produce the poison once they are no longer living. However, there can still be remnants and trace amounts in the fins where the actual stingers are located so you have to remove all of the fins before you do anything to that fish❤❤❤❤❤
You can eat the venom and won’t do anything
The venom is protein based which means it can be cooked out (as long as it’s cooked for long enough and at the correct temperature)
Uh no.
Hurts the fish
This fish hurts our native fish. It’s either we have diverse reefs with lots of lovely fish. Or a reef full of lion fish. They don’t co-exist.
@Zhipaipai
Humans are the most dangerous and destructive and invasive and vindictive species that have ever existed in this world! 😢
@Zhipaipai
Humans are the most dangerous and destructive and invasive species that have ever existed in this world! 😢 There’s no need to cause needless pain to the fish.
I can see why she got stung. Ain’t learn from the first 2-3 times.
Wow… Cut the spikes off
So no one heard of gloves? 🤦🏽♂️🤣
