    I have a few fish pins but they’re not made from an actual fish!!! Not sure how I feel about that.

    Thanks for telling me about the lionfish problem, I had no idea. Do they really taste good?
    I hope so because I will be glad to support their efforts. Those are some really freaky looking fish.

    it is delicious
    it is white and mild

    Those that eat the Lionfish are doing the waters of Aruba a huge favor.
    Those spiny creatures wreak havoc on the reefs.

    Google "spearfishing Lionfish Aruba" and watch some of the fascinating videos.

    Yes I did look them up and thankfully there are divers helping to get rid of them. What a bonus they are edible too.
    I plan to support them for sure.

    My Daughter, Friends and I have shot over 5,000 lionfish, since the beginning. You ask if its helping? We use to kill 60 to 70 lionfish on a single dive. Now its 2 or 3 on a dive. I think its making a differance. I am the guy that cleans all these fish and its the best fish we have ever had. They are not huge, so the fillets are small.

    WoW that is incredible....5,000 gone from just your group !!
    What's really amazing is the huge difference that this has made in the population of these undesirables and to the sea environment.
    A BIG Thanks to all the lionfish hunters. I really look forward to trying the fillets, sounds like they are good eating.
