Want to sell your lionfish? With a $50 Saltwater Products License (Click here to find information about and the application to obtain your SPL) you can sell your catch to seafood wholesale dealers around the State of Florida. Below is a great list compiled by the FWC Lionfish program (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) of seafood wholesale dealers who want to buy your lionfish. We have done an excellent job in raising lionfish awareness over the last several years and now restaurants are having a difficult time keeping the fish on the menu on a regular basis. Because of this strengthening market, the regular diver can cover all their fuel, boat, airfills, and other diving expenses as well as putting a little extra coin in their pocket, all while having a great time spearing this invasive species and getting them off of our reefs! Prices vary, we have heard of lionfish being bought anywhere in the $4-$6 range for whole fish. Some dealers may require gutting and removing the spines beforehand. Head shots are encouraged to minimize the damage to the meat. The list gives minimum fish size for the various dealers as well as minimum and maximum quantity. Like everything else in life, it’s good to establish a relationship ahead of time. Happy Hunting!
hi Andy
found your article on lion fish i find it
quite interesting
any chance I might get you to elaborate
a bit more on topic?
among other accomplishments in your life
says you’re a dive instructor if I might inquire where are you located? and do you
have a class or first hand knollage on hunting these spiny devels?
long story short got open water certified in 87 down in islmorada but have not done
much diving since 2k and would feel best with refresher course or advanced open
water/lion fish instruction can we talk?
thanks sincerly… Rick Beaudoin

Hello Francisco, I am interested to learn more about your shipments of lionfish from San Andres. Could you please email thelionfishguys@gmail.com with more information? Thanks – I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi there, I live on the east coast of canada and was wondering how one would go about importing a moderate amount of the fish (around 100lbs of fillets)? And if you would know an approximate cost for that much fish? Local seafood companies dont seem to carry the fish. I would love to introduce the fish to my local market to help grow the demand, in turn helping to weed out those invasive buggers.
Regards,
Hugh
