On the left is a fish. The Lionfish is an invasive species in the carribean. It originates in Southeast Asia and in 2000, was spotted in this area. It outcompetes other native species and has venomous barbs on its back.
On the right is my new speargun. I bought it today and took it out this afternoon. The Lionfish was no match for the tri-tipped barbed spear.
Tomorrow, we have Lionfish for dinner.
P.S. Congratulations to Joachim for catching a lobster during the same outing.
so how was it?
ReplyDeleteDelicious. Turns out it isn't a lionfish. It was covered in barbs which did still hurt while I cleaned it. I have been on a number of dives recently and seen real lion fish.
