This dish combines the crispy, savory flavors of fried fish with the mild, flaky texture of lionfish, complemented by a creamy, garlicky sauce. The traditional components of 'Fish and Chips' (chips/fries and tartar sauce analog) are present but adapted to a modern, eco-conscious palate.
The lionfish fillet is typically coated in a light tempura batter, providing a delicate crispness. The 'Lionfish stick' is breaded and deep-fried, offering a different textural experience. The 'Lionwing' is likely the pectoral fin prepared in a similar fried style. The homemade garlic sauce provides a pungent, creamy counterpoint to the fried components. French fries, the traditional accompaniment, contribute a familiar starchy element. Lionfish itself has a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making it versatile for various preparations.

Spine Removal
Ensure all spines are carefully removed before filleting and cooking lionfish. Gloves and appropriate tools are essential for safe handling.
Cooking Methods
While tempura is common, lionfish can also be grilled, baked, or pan-fried. Experiment with different cooking methods to find your preferred texture and flavor.
Sauce Pairings
Beyond garlic sauce, consider pairing lionfish with citrus-based sauces, spicy aioli, or even a traditional tartar sauce for a familiar taste.
Sourcing Lionfish
Support local fishermen and restaurants that sustainably harvest lionfish. Ask about the source of the lionfish to ensure it was harvested responsibly.
