There are lots of Lionfish around Florida, and people have come up with all kinds of recipes for them: http://www.lionfishhunters.org/Recipes.html

There are also Lionfish derbies to encourage people to kill them: http://www.reef.org/lionfish/derbies

I spearfish near Tampa every once in a while and was always told to kill Lionfish on sight. The state now has a special exemption that allows spearfishing of Lionfish in areas where spearfishing is normally illegal.

Makes some good sense: where no natural predators exist, introduce one. Humans work.
