Gourmet Cozumel Lionfish Dishes Promoted in Mexico City just in time for Lent

ByLaura WilkinsonFebruary 7, 20131 Mins read333 Views

La Sociedad Cooperativa de Producción Pesquera Cozumel has announced their plans to increase the national demand for Cozumel Lionfish in a rather unique way. Next week, on February 13, just before the beginning of the Catholic celebration of Lent, prestigious Chefs and their guests will gather together in Mexico City for a special menu tasting, including extravagant dishes prepared with Cozumel lionfish. Cozumel fishermen are hoping to inspire national chefs to experiment with lionfish and create their own signature dishes. The idea isn’t so far off base, in fact, various lionfish cookbooks have already been published, and many Florida restaurants now offer a variety of lionfish specialty dishes including lionfish nachos, cerviche, and even fried whole lionfish.
