Starting from Pterois, or lionfish that hit rocks off the coast of Florida, to the Asian carp, or a type of carp population extends up to the Great Lakes, this exotic creature and beat devouring local fish and disrupt ecosystems.
"Man is the most widespread predators on the planet Earth," said Philip Kramer, Director of the Caribbean Program for the Nature Conservancy, quoted from the New York Times, July 11, 2011.
To that end, Kramer said, instead of eating shark fin soup is getting closer to extinction, there is no harm if we eat the species that cause damage. "Thus, we are actually feeding activity contributes positively to the environment," he said.
"We think there is definitely a huge market," said Wenonah Hauter, researchers from the Food and Water Watch recommends to consume invasive species as a safer alternative and bring benefits.
Unfortunately, little restaurant that provides a menu of lionfish, the Asian carp, or the European green crab that also threaten the survival of other species. "What we need is a way to cook and look for the menu of the most appropriate to present these animals," said Hauter.
Currently, the Food and Water Watch has joined the James Beard Foundation and Kerry Heffernan, chef of South Gate restaurant in New York City to find a recipe to cook Asian carp and make lionfish filet.
