Why Lionfish Should Be Your Favorite Fish to Eat | Nat Geo Live

[@haitianrefugee8454]

Somebody at Mcdonalds needs to create lion fish nuggets to get this ball rolling.

[@johncgibson4720]

Or use it for Feli'o Fish burger.

[@billc6762]

Have Gordon Ramsey feature it in his show. The fish will be extinct in a year.

[@d55core23]

That's actually a fucking great idea.

[@billc6762]

In 1998, I bought some Chilean Seabass for a BBQ. It was $2.25 a lb and being considered a trash fish. And then some celebrity chef decided to feature the fish in his restaurant in New York. Now it is $23 a lb and considered an endangered species.

[@efrenchen293]

Done

[@ITriggerWokeSJWS]

hahaha

[@konstellashon1364]

he did on his KZbin The F-word season1 ep4

[@zKaRiisMa]

Just know this lionfish is overpopulated and are the megalodons of the sea. if people dont eat them most fish will be gone.

[@iiHundreds]

Crazy this fish was on Shark Tank and no one believed the guys that they will sell and I heard they taste great!

[@ZennExile]

Lion fish + Insects = the future of food.

[@johncgibson4720]

Dont forget Asian carp hot dog.

[@Death_by_Inches]

My mom picked up a big bundle of seaweed off the beach a couple months back. Literally hundreds of dead baby lion fish. Those fish bone like crazy

[@munchforlife]

Why can't we have a lobster invasion

[@janetestherina7169]

Okay I saw these fishes in a local aquarium once and I never thought they're actually dangerous! But they are so pretty...

[@Scofari]

This is actually how they were introduced to the wild. When they flush the water, the filters didn't filter the lion fish eggs.

[@TobiBabalola-u3v]

​@@Scofari they're wild fish native to South pacific ocean

[@jboy2621]

Oh come on, we eat Fugu in Japan. Lionfish is perfect sushi!

[@tengkualiff]

We do make lionfish sashimi

[@Wasserkaktus]

Then Japan should grow a big market for Lionfish: That should make demand for it cause Lionfish to have a hefty price tag and will encourage Floridians to start fishing them en masse.

[@isn0t42]

Why don't she say the word "kill"? Are there children in the audience? Or does she think that "removal" sounds less violent? It sure does, but don't sugarcoat what you're doing - you're trying to exterminate a populace of a certain species in the area. That's not gonna happen considering the speed at which they breed, but it's it and that's that.

[@MikhaelAhava]

It's an invasive species that threatens other species,but I get your point... We do kill to live.

[@bye230]

And the whole reason these fishes are in environments where they don't belong is because of a human. So isn't this essentially our fault?

[@fordhouse8b]

If you believe in the concept of collective guilt, then I suppose it is "our fault." If you do not believe in the concept of blaming innocent people for offenses committed by others, then it is the fault of those who actually released these fish into an unsuitable habitat. Either way, determining who is at fault does nothing to solve the problem she was discussing.

[@bye230]

+fordhouse8b it kinda does because if that dumb person never released those aquarium fish then would they not be populating in those areas?

[@SmilingNinja]

+Ari Ed It is "our fault" but it should also be our responsibility to fix the problem

[@crono3015]

Our? I don't recall bringing the fish here. How about you? Either way, it needs to go away. Doesn't belong on this side of the Ocean.

[@fordhouse8b]

+Ari Ed My point is that it is the fault of "that dumb person." That doesn't mean it isn't our responsibility to try to fix or alleviate the ecological problem caused by "that dumb person." Two related but separate issues.

[@Grouperhunter]

Nice video.A couple years ago I caught a bunch of lionfish and had them for pets for a good while.They made great pets since they where easy to take care of.Lionfish taste very good as well so I now spear them and make cevichle from the fillets.

[@PedroTawa]

I looks like fun fishing them and they don't run away when they see you! Lol

[@joneskimracing2932]

Dyson needs to develop underwater lionfish vacuum cleaner!

[@525Lines]

Good new is, they're delicious.

[@DarthRavan2012]

Lionfish is Afrika's solution to their hunger problem.

[@roxylamour1119]

You're cute

[@janebook294]

TOO LAZY TO FISH THEM ,WAITING ON AMERICAN AIDE ,ITS WHAT THEY DO BEST

[@kavir3359]

Africa*

[@kavir3359]

Jane Book also just chill with the capitals, some countries don't have the natural resources/global commodities to be self supporting

[@marsnyder2610]

We need restaurants specializing in crispy crunchy delicious fried lion fish & chips. Yummy. 😊

[@wakeupidiotsnow2611]

THE GROUPER is so intelligent, uses his hard mouth to stun LFish. Then chomps him headfirst, BIGTIME! SAVE THE GROUPER IT RULES.

[@cognizant3484]

I want a Lionfish Souvenir now.

[@lopezrudy387]

we need to export lionfish to africa to feed all that people

[@Broken-Flesh]

+RL387 And we also need to waste less of the food we already have.

[@bojidarmartinov5949]

+cutiekazoe10 USA will be our first priority

[@kotk05]

I'll have to get some Lion Fish fish tacos and Lion Fish poke

[@konstellashon1364]

Just watched an Outdoor Channel cooking show do an episode on lionfish. After safely removing the spines and scales, drip lime juice on the fillets, refrigerate 30min, and make ceviche.

[@RockPKK]

Uuuuuh! I wanna try some lion fish meat now

[@jackielinde7568]

+Maru Chan I wish I could, but I'm not sure that Lionfish is kosher. Florida should do the same thing (opening restaurants) for the Burmese Pythons. Again, being Jewish, I can't eat snake, either. But I'm not going to begrudge anyone who's going to chow down on an invasive species. Anyone know if pidgeon is kosher?

[@m0j0101]

People need to know these fish are friggin delicious. Wished I lived in Florida so I could just have a buffet of lion fish

[@olafs7022]

Where’s the rest of the video? She was just getting started

[@traderlincolnmitchell9786]

good video

[@HeyDude93gt]

I don’t know how I got here? But it’s good to know the lion fish is destroying many other fish species. Good luck to the ones concerned and working on getting this problem under control

[@JyoPari]

Like humans are not invasive

[@traveel9409]

True

[@JyoPari]

Ya i mean idk, we have trashed this earth pretty well, and we are going after some small species that will concur a colony.

[@traveel9409]

+Jyo Pari agreed it really depends on how you look at it some say that humans are a part of the earth and that we are to a species others say what we're doing isn't natural it all comes down to how you look at it.

[@Borderose]

Why do you hate your own kind?

[@tawgenal]

Oh ok i guess we should all kill are self then

[@savanname7282]

Omg I always buy national geographic books! They are the beeeest

[@veiroelle]

Is that Christoph Waltz at 2:04 ?

[@derpypotatoo]

Well, time to eat some lionfish

[@a-aron7612]

Belize really needs to take care off this.

[@polychronio]

tropical fish are beautiful to look at but doesnt look delicious...

[@janebook294]

WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT STUIPD BABBLING SOWS ????

[@ernestpark7125]

gourmet?

[@JesusMartinez-rr2ry]

One question: If lionfish are venomous, then why don't people die from eating them just like in Japan where people occasionally die from eating pufferfish?

[@konstellashon1364]

Lionfish venom (not poison, there's a difference) is only in the spines. The meat is perfectly edible. snip-snip and filet away

[@ghgghgyuhkljjijijui]

5*!

[@traciemorgan3426]

+NATIONALGEOGRAPHIC I saw the exact same fish at the sushi place here in Houston Texas and I was wondering why it had pink stripes instead of brown stripes and everyone told me it's fake because it was hanging by a string then I watched the video and I've realized why so I just thought you would like that was interesting

[@thepepener446]

lionfish are delicious

[@alejandroaragontan4397]

Did you just hate yourself

[@rooftopping]

yum

[@johncgibson4720]

The girl is cute, but we want to eat it in McDonalds. And that needs a sleazy corporate executive, not a cute girl.

[@Robila_]

did she say lion fishes ???

[@Drinapropriatetouch]

+Chip the Hamster Yes because she's only human, the same reason you started your sentence without a capital letter.

[@MarcoMelendres]

+The Red Buffoon OH SNAP>>>>shots fired

[@senorvillarruel8129]

Nope

I say both look yummy

[@abramswee]

sell them to the chinese.. maybe $100/kg?

[@ryancadogan4504]

Take that Vegans

[@ChiefMac]

vegan is the only way.

[@babecat2000]

+Rob Mac No it's not. Meat can be sustainable just cut back and raise them better.

[@ChiefMac]

babecat2000 nah I don't eat at all.

[@CapnHolic]

+Rob Mac You are aware that millions of insects as well as hundreds of small mammals are killed in harvesting a field?

[@ChiefMac]

CapnHolic And what does that has to do with the price of rice?

[@Aarontlondon]

Humans did not become human by being vegan.

Eat them all LOL

[@glennsommer8901]

0:33 if that's the definition, what is the definition for a natural migration? some natural migrations destroy ecosystems and people start shooting at those animals, even though it happened for millions of years.. I get how some species are invasive species now, but if any harmfull animals enter ecosystems on their own. leave. it. be.

[@bkjeong4302]

This will backfire.

[@valerita957]

☺

[@lostn65]

I'm not eating that.

[@johncgibson4720]

Eat your protein.

[@olafs7022]

It’s actually very good

[@IdontHug]

we shouldn't be eating fish anymore because we're depleting the ocean.

Better to eat than waste

[@myblackcupcake9281]

+Crono true

[@jasonvoorhees5180]

Whether they’re killed to be eaten or as fertilizer it helps Lower their overall numbers and the native ecosystems they’re so severely disrupting
