Lionfish Videos

Get a glimpse of the culture around the island of Aruba and the many activities you can do while there.

Lionfish can be dangerous to handle before cooking. Proper safety tools should be used including needle or spine proof gloves and long scissors.

Lionfish is a bit firmer than Mahi Mahi and has wonderful tasting lean white meat that is delicious, with no oily or fishy taste at all.

The Lionfish population is growing at such an exponential rate that it is imperative that every person do what they can.

The Cuban waters are overrun by the invasive lionfish. Tons of smaller fish have disappeared over the past few years.

Many dive shops do not allow lionfish hunting on their boats since many people do not understand the devastating effects the lionfish have on the coral reefs.

Because Lionfish are so devastating, it is unlikely that the population of these predators will be kept in check by natural means in the future.

Lionfish populations are reaching a critical level. Did you know each spawn can produce up to 2 million eggs a year? That’s a lot of babies!
