Lionfish cookbook night continues with Lad Akins

Orange ginger lionfish
Lionfish night this week included two delicious dishes...orange ginger lionfish and lionfish ceviche. This week was a particularly special week as one of the books authors, Lad Akins, was here at The Cape Eleuthera Institute doing Lionfish research.
Lionfish Ceviche

Mixing up the ceviche
I must admit at this point that this week I cannot take any credit for this amazing food that was prepared. I was away helping the shark team with their shark research project and arrived just in time to take the photographs, and eat some!

 The credit goes to the lionfish team, Jocelyn and Liz, to Jason who did a day of diving then joined in, and of course to Lad, it was great to learn from the author and founder of this amazingly tasty cookbook!

Ceviche eating time!
The main recipe tonight!
Jason and Liz prepare the main dish
All set for the oven!
These dishes looked so great, the Ceviche seemed to be a winner, a mix of raw lionfish marinated in lime and chilis it is a special treat enjoyed with the freshest fish! Homemade chips finished off this tasty dish.

The orange ginger lionfish looked so pretty and had a wonderful distinct flavour when mixed with sesame oil.

The lionfish dinner is ready to go, with lots of extras too!
Adding to this spread was some pumpkin dip by Sarah, freshly baked bread from Matt and chocolate treats from Claire amongst others too! For me, this was great, everyone turns up, helps out, and in no time at all, an instant lionfish party is made!


Yummy!
Lad and the lionfish team after a job well done!
