So being close to baseball season and me being a big Mets fan who lives in the south now and serves up Lionfish as much as possible,mostly local to SC waters but as a chef I’ve bought from other places as well. Anyway,yes I’m here to brag a little,sorry. I’ve been selling Lionfish in conjunction with my local sustainable fish monger and have been laughed at,told it was a fad, looked apon as I was crazy. Well now guess what. Travel channel is coming in the morning. We’ve already been on tv and in print. Now the big boys are coming. I’ve created a maket,I have a demand I can’t keep up with becuz more divers,excuse me commercial divers won’t go after. You all have no idea. I’d buy everyone anyone of you can catch, I’d prefer the big boys I get here
This with the ban on importing lions in fla passing,better just be geared toward pet shops,cuz I know a guy who sells lions in Mexico and ships thru Miami.
Anyway keep killing. Keep going out to dinner and requesting. Wanna save grpr and snapper?! This is the best way. Sure over fishing may be some to blame but Lionfish are as well. I’ve found many Bliners,scamps,Joltheads in lions stomachs. |
