bring lionfish, a venomous and invasive species wreaking havoc in the Atlantic ocean, to dinner plates across the country.
Just in case you missed it, my friend and occasional fishing tutor Carl Safina has a string of posts on Mark Bittman's blog on the continuing invasion of American waters by
lionfish, a reef denizen, studded with toxin - tipped spines, that was most likely
brought here from Asian waters by the aquarium trade.
