SELLING LIONFISH

Picture
Lionfish is in high demand in Belize and the United States.  If you catch lionfish there is a market for selling the fresh caught whole fish or prepared fillets.  Lionfish fillets are selling for as much as BZ$12 (US$6) per pound, which is more than any other fish in Belize.  

If you are a commercial fisherman you can ask those companies or private individuals that you currently sell lionfish to if they would like to add lionfish to their menu, or you can check with the restaurants that are currently selling lionfish in Belize if they are interested in purchasing lionfish.

If you are a marine guide you may be able to sell the lionfish to the hotel restaurant where you work, or friends and family.

​Visitors can ask their the restaurant at their hotel, or nearby restaurant to cook up the lionfish at the end of each day.
