I'm pretty sure that somewhere there is someone who eats just about anything you can think of.

I stick with foods big enough to at least be a mouth full an not poisonous...

Down in the FL Keys, they have cook-off contest with lionfish and lionfish fishing tournaments. They've become a big problem down there so anything to encourage people to take them out of the water. I haven't tried them but I hear they are delicious, kind of tender and sweet.

Lionfish are venomous (can give you a painful sting), not poisonous (there are no naturally occurring harmful substances in lionfish meat). They grow to be more than a foot long - at least the size of a lot of freshwater panfish. As NFC said, there are programs aimed at getting people to do anything possible to reduce their numbers - and that definitely includes eating them.

Poisonous an venomous are the same thing to me when it comes to me eating it. I'm not. I have never seen one bigger than about 10 inches. Most were closer to 6. I'll stick with catfish.

that is sad, they have hardly anything on those bones to eat. Do you know how many would have to get killed for 1 meal. They are so gorgeous.
