Eat for the ecosystem

I was reading The Economist (a free introductory copy) the other day and they told me to eat the lion fish.

This naughty fish is said to be a predator to most small fishes and they are capable of reducing the number of such small fishes up to 80%. And I don't think they meant ikan-bilis small fish...

They eat a lot, but they are not likely to be eaten (but they are consumed once-in-a-while by predators like groupers). That's due to the sharp spines that act as the lion fish's defense mechanism.

The only way for things to turn around is for people to eat it. I know it doesn't look very appetizing, but it supposedly tastes like the snapper. But then again, I'm not sure if this fish is served in Malaysia, heh.
