In light of a recent increase in lionfish being caught on hook and line, we figured a refresher on how to properly clean and prep this delicious invasive species was in order!

WTVJ's (NBC 6) Jennifer Reeves speaks with Guy Harvey's Dave Chafin, who demonstrates the art of cleaning/preparing lionfish. Lionfish are a non-native species that are devastating reefs by aggressively preying on juvenile fish and invertebrates. They are well known for their ornate beauty, venomous spines and unique tentacles. However, with the right preparation, lionfish make for a delicious meal.
