Appetite for Invasives (2016)

'Appetite for Invasives' is a short documentary about eating invasive species, like Lionfish and Asian Carp, to take pressure off of over-fished species and remove threats to native animals. The film follows exotic foods specialist Gene Rurka as he chooses the menu and recipes for 112th Explorers Club Annual Dinner reception. Carl Safina, Ecologist and founder of The Safina Center, consults with Rurka on his seafood choices and discusses the challenges and implications of eating invasive species.
