I always have a difficult time eating anything where I have seen its eyes, including fish. How long does it take to cook the venom out, does she have recommendations?
These remind me of sculpin - turns out that they are in the same order:
Iâve had sculpin and it is delicious. As is the beer with the same name made by local guys Ballast Point, here in San Diego.
Someone open a restaurant that only serves invasive species STAT!
I know that lampreys are a problem in the Great Lakes, and have often thought the best way to deal with 'em is to catch 'em and ship 'em to England where theyâre a delicacy.
Iâm not surprised someone else has gotten the same idea, and is actually putting it into practice. Lionfish are not a species I would have thought of as a candidate, but I hope it works.
wrong eel mate.
What does it actually mean when a meat is described as âsweetâ? Like in the movie Babe, when (spoiler alert ; ) Babe becomes the leading candidate for Xmas dinner, the mice/muses say âpork is a very sweet meatâ.
Does it just mean âtastyâ? Is meat that doesnât taste good usually sour or bitter or some other antonym of sweet? I had grouse one time, which was gamy and dry and bleh, but I wouldnât say it was opposite of sweet.
Some fish has that âfishy, gone badâ flavor even when itâs very fresh. Flounder for one. Lemon completely and amazingly neutralizes it, which explains fish + lemon, btw. But thatâs not an opposite of sweet situation either.
Google wants to tell me about âsweetmeatsâ, which is a completely different business.
This is a pure social engineering problem. All we have to do is get âLionfish Filletâ sandwiches on the menu of McDonaldâs, and that sucker will be driven to extinction faster than you can say âsuper-size me.â
Read this as âeat a sea lionâ.
I would say of all the seafood Iâve had, the sweetest would be dungeness crab. Itâs by far the best crab, and I donât think that any swimminâ fish come too close to that, but fresh CA halibut can be sweet-ish for a fish and very tender.
You are correct, flounder can be pretty fishy tasting, not a fav of mine.
Florida needs to have a python bar-b-q festival. I like the wildlife shows where they make a big deal out of wrangling the invasive Everglades python and taking them in alive rather than simply lopping off the head with a machete or shooting them with a 22 revolver. So hokey.
But they look like Livingston! Eating them would make Captain Picard sad! Or not.
Take note: in some areas of the Caribbean, lionfish should not be eaten, as they might contain ciguatera toxin.

Huh. Iâd only ever heard of ciguatera in barracuda. We went fishing off Ensenada once when I was a kid, but Iâd just read about ciguatera a few months before and I wouldnât eat the 'cudas we caught.
Weâve been eating lampreys a canny long while and all, mind.
I always heard it was the bigger barracuda that were poison. In one well known case the coast guard had to come out to save the entire crew of a freighter after they were all disabled from eating a barracuda.
Put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, and youâll feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut and drink âem botâ up,
Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning
Miyaâs here in New Haven, CT (http://miyassushi.com/) has a whole menu dedicated to invasive species.
You canât make a proper bouillabaisse without rascasse.
Didnât Henry I die of a surfeit of them?
