The Lionfish Snack Aruba is one of the best ways to help remove lionfish from the Aruba waters! It is a unique place to have lunch or dinner and it's the most environmentally friendly food on the island when it comes to saving the reefs. Patrick is the owner and tell us his perspective of the lionfish around the island. Here is some information from Patrick's website: 

In 2017 I started with the idea to try and sell it myself. Building a snack truck beside my house and becoming the first takeaway on the island dedicated to prepare and sell this invasive specie. Loving nature and start living on Aruba 21 years ago I started scuba diving. Around 2007 was the first time I saw the LionFish in Aruba waters. The LionFish struck with me with its beauty, long feather like fins and beautiful colors. It was a few years later I learned how destructive the LionFish was for our local fish and even other animals in the Caribbean sea. The LionFish, brought to the Caribbean Sea by human wrongdoing….again we as humans were the reason for putting our nature under pressure. For now the only way to reduce the LionFish population is to shoot them with a pole-spear. A few years I have been shooting and selling the fish to local restaurants. To remember the locations and when I was there shooting the fish I started filming and archiving the dives. You can see these videos on YouTube: Hunting LionFish Aruba.
