Fodor's Expert Review The Lionfish Snack

$$ Santa Cruz and Paradera Caribbean

“Eat 'em to beat ‘em” is the motto behind this snack shack that serves only lionfish dishes---deep-fried lionfish, sandwiches, wraps, smoked fillets, and a lionfish dip---to help combat the invasive species. It's only open Saturdays from noon to 7:30 pm, so make sure to plan accordingly if you really want to eat here. They also sell pre-cleaned lionfish fillets to take home if you want to try them on the grill yourself, and unique jewelry made from lionfish skin.
