rsarvis July 10, 2011 July 10, 2011 I keep reading about eating lion fish, since they are an invasive species in FL/Caribbean/etc. Does anyone know if lion fish ever gets served at any restaurants up here, or if you can buy some to cook? I'm curious to try some, but I guess maybe it's unlikely to get shipped up here in any sort of quantity?
jason the filter freak July 10, 2011 July 10, 2011 Last I head trader joes had it. Do a search on Wamas for lion fish cook, cooking, or bake something like that I think a bunch of people got together and made an event out of it
Chad July 11, 2011 July 11, 2011 I have done a bunch of research on it... There are a few restaurants in the area that get it in and serve it as a special, but that is more sporadic than anything, I don't know of one that has it on their regular menu. There has also been a few fund raiser dinners at the national aquarium that have served it. Finally, somewhere in my email I have a contact where you can buy it from a commercial supplier, so it is becoming more available. Ask at the local fish markets like the one at Waterfront in SW and Eastern Market, they may have it as well.
flowerseller July 11, 2011 July 11, 2011 Try H-Mart, they seem to sell every type of seafood known to man.

roni July 11, 2011 July 11, 2011 chad, are we ever doing that lionfish fry or did we find a restaurant that would commit to bringing some in for a little get together?
Chad July 11, 2011 July 11, 2011 Yea, I pretty much dropped the ball on that early in the summer... I have a busy next few weeks coming up (two week work trip at the end of this week), but will probably pick it back up again when I get back.

I wasn't sure if we did it already or were still hoping to do it at some point. It would be awesome if a restaurant would step up and start offering it regularly.
Chad July 11, 2011 July 11, 2011 nah, its all good I would really like to do it, as I think it would be a lot of fun... things just got super busy there for a while and I pretty much forgot about it until I saw this thread. I'll revive it here in a bit
