Lionfish

The lionfish, an invasive species in many parts of the world, is gaining popularity in the culinary scene. Recognized for its striking appearance with vibrant stripes and venomous spines, the lionfish is surprisingly delicious and sustainable. 

Its white, flaky meat is mild and tender, making it versatile for various cooking methods. Chefs often prepare lionfish as ceviche, grilled, or pan-seared, accentuating its delicate flavor with citrus, herbs, and spices. By incorporating lionfish into dishes, chefs contribute to controlling its population, which threatens marine ecosystems.
