As a scuba diver, I have speared and eaten many lionfish but not in St. Martin. The Nature Foundation is recommending that the invasive lionfish not be eaten or consumed based on a recently concluded study where flesh samples which were taken of larger lionfish caught in St. Maarten waters showed levels of the poisonous ciguatoxin which causes Ciguatera poisoning. Over the last few years, I have speared many lionfish in St. Martin but left them for the sharks. Please read this article before consuming lionfish in St. Martin. http://www.underwatertimes.com/news.php?article_id=93756482100

phillygirl7 said: I also would love to see the video link. Are shark species the only underwater creature to eat the lion fish after they are speared? I have seen video on Youtube of barracuda doing the same thing. It was actually a group introducing Lionfish to Barracuda as a food source hoping ot get them to eat them on their own. Sadly I have seen too much video showing Lionfish adapting to every environment even down to 600 feet or more, they are just little vacuum cleaners killing everything in their path.
