 Lionfish in Curacao Good evening readers, this is for my mom who thought this Lionfish was one of the coolest looking fish I had ever sent out, and I would have to agree. This was another that was found and captured and will be on display at the aquarium along with all the others soon. As many of you already know this beautiful creature is not supposed to be here and folks are trying their hardest to keep it that way. This is where the big controversy starts. The whole island is now aware that these fish are here and measures are underway to TRY and control their numbers. One local organization has offered a cash reward for ever five you bring into them, it’s that serious. Once the fish are brought in they will then determine just what fish they are eating the most and do other kinds of DNA tests as well. They are also offering free “catch kits” for anyone finding one, if you need that info just let me know. Is it possible for divers to patrol 70 miles of ocean reef that surrounds Curacao and keep their numbers to a minimum?? This remains to be seen, some say it’s possible and others are saying, “why bother” I think it’s a tough road ahead and by this time next year we should know a whole lot more about their exploding numbers. I have been to many dive shops that have posters saying” Wanted Dead or Alive” and I find myself asking what’s next??
Last night we went to a friends house for dinner and it was out of this World delicious!! I personally learned that I know nothing about grilling and admitting this is the first step to recovery and better food. We had some of the best grilled meat I may have ever had, it just melted in your mouth. I found out last night that I have been grilling to fast and over too much heat. The stuff we had last night was hand rubbed, laid out at room temperature before grilling and then placed on the grill but not directly over the coals and left to cook very slowly! Oh man!! Yummy, thanks again guys!
My knee is still swollen, I had a doctor look at it today and he said I have a hematoma and yes it’s very swollen and may be 2 weeks before it’s better! That stinks! I was planning on going to Bonaire but not sure that is going to work now.
That’s about it for tonight, glad you all liked the little bird so much, they really are beautiful. I’ll be back tomorrow, Barry
