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.
