Quoting Bruce: "So if you see one, eat it."

YES. Preferably as an appetizer before an entree of Atlantic-caught lionfish. Single most ecologically friendly seafood dinner on the planet, as lionfish are native to Indonesia and SE Asia but are currently devastating the Atlantic coastline from parts of Florida and the Gulf all the way down to central Brazil. My local grocery store's butcher block manager is looking for a distributor that carries Atlantic lionfish--ask yours as well! The more the demand, the better chance that not every Caribbean reef will be virtually lifeless in the next decade or so, plus rumor has it that lionfish is gourmet-quality tasty. They're venomous, but the venom's all at the bases of fin spines and is removed before cooking.
