Well... my faithful Lionfish Mufasa died. :( The water got too hot for him...

Is there any way to prepare him for dinner? I heard they're poisonous but just the tips...

So sad, OP. Lionfish are awesome and beautiful.

Florida has had a massive lionfish invasion in their reefs from people dumping their unwanted aquarium fish into the ocean. It's a real ecological problem since the local reefs are getting eaten to death by the lionfish.

Anyway, they've put out recipe books for lionfish. Here's National Geographic's take:

Fortunately for us, lionfish have moist, buttery meat that is often compared to hogfish, one of the most popular reef fish served in restaurants. The mild taste and flakey texture allow lionfish meat to be prepared in a wide variety of different ways. From raw to deep fried, grilled to blackened, lionfish dishes are bound to fit anyone’s taste. By eating lionfish, you’re not only treating yourself to a new, tasty dish, but also doing your part to help save native reef fish from this voracious predator.

A couple of sites with recipes:
http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2013/07/10/lionfish-gotta-eat-em-to-beat-em/
http://www.lionfishhunters.org/Recipes.html

Or just google "lionfish recipes" if none of the ones at these sites sound good to you.

or you could just bury him like a civilized human, you goddamn savage. how can you eat a pet you've named? I know it isn't any different than a lionfish from the sea, it's just weird.

Another way of looking at it is that it's one last way of becoming closer to your pet. Some of him will be with you forever.

Dude, he's died. You can't eat naturally dead fish. There are biological processes of death. Don't eat it. The spine is removed immediately because of the venom. You missed the window. This ship has sailed. Sorry.

What are you babbling about?

His fish died of overheating. It's not the best idea to eat a fish that's been floating for a while, but assuming he found it soon after it expired, it's not going to have broken down much. It's not like he's eating roadkill that's been sitting out in the sun for two or three days.

BTW, most venoms are proteins, and are denatured by cooking, so that's PROBABLY ok. Might want to google to be sure that's the case with lionfish venom.

I sell this stuff here in Vegas. Basically seated or fried filets, of a ceviche are very nice. Sashimi doesn't work very well.

Poison is in a sack at the tip, none in the flesh. Also cooking kills the poison.

Be really careful though.
