Most places are trying to catch them, but it seems they are like ants, just multiply regardless..

They are good eating. Had it a couple of times in St Maarten. Was outstanding. I see them all the time when diving in St Maarten. Have eaten Lion fish in Grand Cayman. Very sweet white fish. Had it broiled, battered and fried and in a cerviche. Delicious. Where did you have it if you don't mind me asking?

I would like to try it, but have never seen it offered. Is it a specialty item, seasonal, or usually readily available on the Island and you have to ask for it?

Thanks for the information. I'll keep looking and if I find a place I'll let you know. This past September in Grand Cayman there were only a couple of places serving it because the culling program has decreased the number caught and leaving them to live in more inaccessible areas (both the restaurant and dive shop told me the same thing). Didn't see one the whole 2 weeks diving.
