Groupers learning to eat invasive lionfish???

Post by MuleTrainGA »

Saw this video recently. Definitely has some good implications if they'll learn to feed on their own.

interesting... Id love to taste one.
Had parrot fish for the first time this weekend and it was excellent... maybe better than grouper!

Can we have some Grouper classes up here? Maybe some volunteers to teach them to gobble these guys up so they don't get kids in scallop season!

The parrot is good fare for the table, but terrible on knives!
Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

I haven't seen any lion fish in my scalloping ventures, anyone got pictures of one in this area?
