This beautiful striped fish is an invasive species that threatens marine ecosystems. It's also delicious.
Cayman Cookout — and his energy was boundless. As we prepared for our expedition and looked out over the crystal blue Cayman water, the chef eagerly greeted everyone while expounding on our mission for the day: to spear some lionfish.
Andrés is as passionate about culling lionfish as he is about all his other projects, and for good reason. These beautiful, striped, and spiny fish are a notorious invasive species that pose a great threat to the biodiversity and marine ecosystems of Atlantic coastal waters, including coral reefs. Andrés doesn’t just enjoy scuba diving and hunting for lionfish , but he’s also working to raise awareness about lionfish as an, in part by encouraging people to help reduce invasive lionfish populations. As he explained while we jetted out to our first dive site, one of the easiest ways to do this is simply by teaching people how delicious lionfish is — the more people want to eat it, the more motivated divers are to hunt the fish.
After their first round of diving, our lionfish hunters came up empty. Andrés noted that they’d only seen a few smaller lionfish, which are more difficult to spear — but this is ultimately a good problem, because it means people are killing the adult fish. We jetted off to another potential dive site , and an hour later the divers surfaced with some freshly speared lionfish.
