Great question — and there's an easy way to remember the difference! If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. Lionfish are venomous, not poisonous. They won't bite you, and touching a spine won't kill you — but it will hurt! Lionfish possess 18 sharp venomous spines. Once those are removed, the meat is completely safe to eat and delicious.

Yes — and they are absolutely delicious! Lionfish have a mild, flaky white meat that tastes similar to snapper, and top chefs around the world are taking notice.

Celebrity chef José Andrés featured whole fried lionfish at his restaurant Fish at The Cove at Atlantis in the Bahamas, calling it his most exciting menu item. James Beard Award-winning Chef Michael Schwartz serves whole roasted lionfish at Fi'lia at Baha Mar in Nassau. And The Pink Beach Club at The Loren Hotel in Bermuda — recently highlighted in Vogue Travel — serves a standout lionfish tartare with avocado, pineapple salsa, and plantain chips, a dish that has become a guest favorite.

By choosing to eat lionfish, you're participating in the solution. Every lionfish removed from the reef protects dozens of native fish species. If you ever see it on a menu, we highly encourage you to try it — you won't be disappointed!

Every piece of jewelry you purchase directly supports my mission to protect Caribbean coral reefs — and I am so grateful for it! Here's how it works: I personally hunt and remove lionfish from the waters around St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. Each lionfish I remove saves approximately 2,100 reef fish that would otherwise fall prey to this voracious invasive predator.

By purchasing my jewelry, you're funding that work — making it possible for me to keep diving, keep hunting, and keep protecting the reef. In 2025 alone, I removed 1,055 lionfish, saving an estimated 2.2 million reef fish.

Nothing goes to waste either. My husband and I eat the meat (it's delicious, by the way!), and I handcraft the stunning fins into the one-of-a-kind jewelry you're wearing. Your purchase isn't just beautiful — it's making a real, measurable difference in the health of our oceans. Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me!
