Re: Spearfishing for Lionfish
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Michael,

I agree with killing them, plus eating them. From all that I've read about the palatability of lionfish, there's practically a consensus that they are delicious. Your point is good about oversight once you've allowed harvesting in the preserve. I for one, would take the lionfish over the yellowtail, even though I drool in my snorkel when I see a big yellowtail swim by within arms reach.

It's just a shame they can't turn spearfishers loose on this increasing population of lionfish. Last year, while swimming the waters of Culebra, I could have put the hurt on 30 or more, and fed some folks as a result.

Tim
