During Hurricane Andrew back in 1992, a half a dozen lionfish managed to escape from a Florida aquarium. Now numbering in their thousands, these hardy little invaders are now wrecking havoc on the local marine life.So far so bad, but what is interesting is this sentence relegated to the very end of the alarming Times article:
Lionfish are very edible. In fact, they are quite delicious.So what is the hand-wringing for? Tuck in and problem solved.
