GOOD, THEY’RE DELICIOUS! New research shows NOAA scientist built a better lionfish trap. “The so-called Gittings trap, named for its inventor, can be deployed deeper than spear fishermen who currently provide most lionfish control, allowing it to catch lionfish abundant at those depths. It also could provide a more regular supply of lionfish, which would encourage more restaurants and retail chains to sell the spiny sea creatures. One national grocery chain, Whole Foods Market, features a page on its website called ‘Get to Know the Lionfish.’ Recipe suggestions include grilling it with herbs and lemon, baking with a bread crumb coating or making into ceviche.”

All is proceeding as I have foreseen.
