Scott is a good friend and has been doing this for many years and has made several comments about the impact lionfish are having on the fish population. It is problem and anyone that does dive should join in the effort of getting rid of them.
I heard they taste like chicken
What is the animal that normal eats lions, that does not seem to be doing so anymore?

I love Lionfish. Its sad to see so many people hate them just because a few careless people introduced them to a new environment where they thrive.
Imagine if they were kittens being shot, burnt, cut open and displayed for all to buy and eat for dinner. A horrible image, but that's what people are doing to Lionfish. It would be different if they were commercially fished, as it's not quite as brutal as a cash prize to those who are good killers. Just because they thrive doesn't mean they deserve to die.
And I know the old argument supporting the killing "they're eating other fish!" But seriously, this would happen one way or another. There's an old saying "you can't create a monster, then complain when he steps on a few buildings".
I understand the need to lower the numbers of Lionfish in these areas, but it's one thing to believe it's right to do so, another thing to enjoy doing so.
