They just seem a little weird...
I've become somewhat obsessed by a fish...
I went diving this weekend (lobster being on the menu) and both dive sites were heavily infested with Lion Fish. Lion Fish are sort of the evil mother-in-law of the fish world as once they get a foothold they simply won't go away.
They are kinda pretty though in an evil-don't-touch kind of way... But pretty as they are, they are spreading like cancer through the Caribbean and as they have no natural enemies things are looking somewhat dark. Sort of a weapon of mass destruction with fins/spines for reef life as we know it...
On the plus side... They taste good and can be excellent as Sushi or sub for any white fleshed fish in your normal fish recipes.
