What is a lionfish? Florida eats lionfish.
A fierce carnivorous fish named lionfish recently invaded the coral reefs near Florida, USA, posing a serious threat to local marine life. Due to the lack of natural enemies near Florida, local environmental protection agencies began to appeal to people to eat lionfish to protect the marine ecological balance. In order to encourage people to eat more lionfish, the Florida Marine Protection Agency of the United States has specially compiled a lionfish cooking guide with 45 recipes. It is said that this kind of fish tastes good, with tender and juicy meat and simple processing method. The book also writes that lionfish, which is easy to catch and cook, will become a delicious food widely loved by residents along the Caribbean coast. Lionfish are native to the South Pacific, Indian Ocean and Red Sea. They feed on other small fish, shrimps and crabs, and eat a huge amount, which is an important killer of marine biodiversity. 1992, Hurricane Andrew destroyed an aquarium in Florida, causing at least six lionfish to escape into the adjacent waters, which were flooded due to the lack of natural enemies. According to the Florida Marine Protection Agency, lionfish tastes similar to puffer fish, but it is not as easy to poison diners as the latter. It is reported that the toxin of lionfish only exists in the spine (fishbone), which can be completely destroyed by ordinary heating and cooking. If you shave off the fishbone during slaughter, you don't have to worry about poisoning. At present, it is not clear when the fierce lionfish can go to restaurants in Miami and become a favorite delicacy for tourists. However, restaurants in the Bahamas, Dominica and Mexico have long listed lionfish as a must-eat local product. It is said that more and more users are ordering the lionfish cooking guide online.
