Bountiful lionfish day

Call it the catch of the day.
And at 1 033 grammes or just over two pounds, it easily took the title of the biggest lionfish pulled from the waters around Barbados during yesterday’s first lionfish derby and cook-off.
It was caught during the Coastal Zone Management Unit’s event which brought together divers, fishermen and top chefs from restaurants.
Here, Woody Coulson of the Barbados Association of Divers holding up the “monster” caught off Maycocks, St Lucy.
