Stew Lionfish in Tomato Sauce & Ground Provisions Recipe by Chef Shaun 🇹🇹 Foodie Nation

Lionfish are an invasive species that are currently inflicting longstanding damage to our eco-system by eating many of our local fish. They are able to do this because they have very few natural predators, likely due to their venomous spines. One simple, but very effective way to help deal with this problem is to eat them.
