I dined on lionfish a few years ago. , my host knew I was a fish geek and called it something else. It was broiled with a touch of paprika, garlic and tarragon (an excellent broiled fish herb). It was very mild, buttery, and reminded me of orange roughy. (Larry the Cable Guy says an orange roughy is what you take after eating a whole bag of Cheeze-Doodles).
I'll admit to not really wanting to eat the same species I keep, but I'll get over it; the guilt is over-ruled by the positive thing you do for the environment when you kill Atlantic lions.
