COOKING LIONFISH

Lionfish meat is white and flaky and has a texture like the very desirable hog snapper.  Some even use lionfish in place of lobster when the lobster season is closed!

Lionfish can be cooked like any other highly desireable fish and can be used to make ceviche, fish balls, soup, tacos or fried. Here's a sample recipe to get you started!
