    Lionfish From Predator to Plate

    Published on Mar 30, 2018

    From Rhode Island to Venezuela, venomous lionfish are invading the Atlantic Ocean, wreaking havoc on native colonies of coral reef fish and disrupting local food chains. From high-tech robotics and deep-sea science to haute cuisine and oceanic sport, "Lionfish: From Predator to Plate" tells the story of the innovative solutions being developed to combat the spread of this invasive species. The film culminates with 11th Hour Racing's #EatLionfish Chefs' Throwdown with viewers joining six America's Cup sailing teams and six “top chefs" from around the world, as they gather in Bermuda for a cooking competition designed to transform lionfish into an enticing and sustainable seafood choice for menus worldwide. Filmed entirely in Bermuda, "Lionfish: From Predator to Plate" debuted at the Bermuda International Film Festival on March 24th. This engaging story shares how different communities have come together to tackle ocean restoration in an innovative, and delicious, new way! @11thHourRacing
