| Guy Harvey "Invasive Gourmet" 2011 |
While the piece elicited a few chuckles and more than a few raised eyebrows the concept behind invasive species and creating markets for them are sound.
It's something that Guy Harvey understands and this week he unveiled his signature Invasive Species Grill in the Bahamas.
Think of it as taking a bite out of an invasive species problem and helping at the same time take the pressure off regional species like Grouper and Hogfish.
It's brilliant, easy to adopt, and the right solution to a regional invasive species epidemic that is harming the Caribbean.
Now all Guy and Co have to do is package these tasty Lionfish Nuggets and get them into Trader Joes all over America.
If you want to try these at home and happen to have a Lionfish problem in your backyard here's the recipe, it's does not stop here, try your own and share them on Facebook, together we can rid the oceans of the Lionfish, one tasty fried nugget at a time:
Lionfish Nuggets:
- 4 oz of Lionfish
- Flour
- 1 cup liquid egg
- Panko breadcrumb
- Salt & Pepper
- Cajun seasoning
In 3 separate bowls place your liquid
egg, flour and breadcrumb. Cut Lionfish into small bite sized pieces and
season with salt & Pepper & Cajun seasoning. Dip pieces into
flour, shake off excess flour, and then dip into liquid egg and then
into Panko breading. Once covered in the breading they are ready to take
a long hot bath in some hot oil at 325 degrees until crispy golden
brown.
