About time! How to catch detoxify and clean lionfish.

This video briefly chronicles a diving trip off the coast of North Carolina to catch invasive lionfish and to test a method for detoxifying them so that they can be handled without risk of envenomation. The effectiveness of the process was tested by pricking my fingers with the dorsal spines. The lionfish were cleaned without using any protective gloves and without clipping their spines. BTW - they were delicious!

@owing1bb What's the point of catching them live? they're an invasive species and need to be killed anyway

great video, what kind of polespear / spear where you using? It looked like it shot out of a collapsed handle?

So this is a test on how to detox these things to the point of being able to consume them? So you eat them and if you don't die/go blind/become paralyzed then they pass? That seems fairly reckless...
