Paging Eric Bruning re: Fish !

[sheepherder]

(WARNING ! Exceptionally off-topic thread !)

I recently let my subscriptions to Road & Track and Cycle World lapse; just no interest in what these magazines are into now. Renewed my subscription to Vintage Motorsport, for the 15th or so year. And started a subscription to Smithsonian Magazine. I watch their cable channel and it's fascinating.

The third issue came a few days ago with an article on the Lionfish. It's started to invade and take over the southeastern coast. Authorities are concerned that the Lionfish will eat the food that other fish have traditionally ate...eaten...whatever...

But the upside is that according to all reports, the Lionfish is delicious.

I have always loved seafood, and most especially Alaskan Cod. But I've tried everything else in the local supermarket. Baked fish with potato salad; nirvana!

So my question is: Have you tried Lionfish??? Is it as delicious as Smithsonian says it is??? It hasn't made it up here yet, but then I don't frequent dedicated fish markets, so I really don't know.

Maybe some other Floridians have tried the Lionfish??? Give us a critical review of the Lionfish as dinner.
