Can I eat a shark?

>>7469444
Of course you can! Sharkfin soup is a delicacy in Chinese cuisine, and shark meat is used by many other cultures as well :^)

>>7469444
only if you wrestle it to death

nice trips fag

>>7469447
Shark fin is just cartilage. It has no flavor at all.

You can but the real question is should you eat shark?

>>7469454
>>7469447

Is shark fin the only edible part?

>>7469569
I love me some battered flake, disguised as cod all over the UK and Pacific.

Apparently loaded with mercury

>>7469569
No. The insides are not poisonous.

>>7469444
Flake, son
Flake.

It'll taste like piss. Sharks don't have kidneys, so the ammonia just accumulates in the tissue.

Shark is delicious

>>7469669
fresh shark meat tastes good which doesn't have the odor of ammonia

>>7469669
>>7469717
When they prepare shark for consuption the let the ammonia drain from the tissue by hanging it

I ate black tip and nurse shark a few times as a kid. Whenever we caught one while fishing, my dad would immediately gut it and let it drain. He would grill the shark steaks with some blackening seasoning. I wouldn't bother eating shark now, not that great tasting compared to other fish and aren't they full of mercury?

>>7469444
Shark has a lot of mercury in it
Sharkfin soup is cruel and all its flavor is from the broth

So I guess what I am saying is if you can get a hold of a shark steak have at it but don't eat it regularly

>>7469775

The mercury thing simply means you shouldn't be eating it often, not that you cannot eat it at all.

>>7469789
I'm aware, just doesn't seem worth it, shark isn't that great.

>>7469799

Agreed. Of all the seafood I could eat shark is pretty low on my preference list.

>>7469444
I know you quite intimately. I opine that you cannot eat shark. I can, however.

It's illegal

>>7469444
Might as well wash it down with a glass of mercury while you're at it.

Shark is really good eating, really popular in south England.

If you catch a shark you have to skin it straight away as they piss through their skin and if you don't skin them it will leach into the flesh and make it taste llike piss.

>>7469444
Sure if you want to get brain damage and shorten your life span.

>>7469444
Dont eat sharks, are you one of those chinks that thinks horns and tiger meat gives you bigger boners?

>>7469444
I've never had it before, but I can only assume it's like swordfish.

>>7472683
A bit, but it has a waxier taste to it. It's not bad. I'd just eat swordfish or tuna, personally.

>>7469660
Mercury is a planet you dumb fuck

>>7472727
To me, shark meat tastes like cod with the texture of chicken. Shark fin tastes like savory jello. Neither are worth the time, IMO

Here in NZ you can get Rig Shark at a lot of fish and chip shops. it's called Lemon Fish.

finning is illegal but sharks are totally legal except for endangered species

In Australia there is a variety of shark called 'gummy shark' that people specifically target because it is considered good eating. I used to go shark fishing with my dad all the time as a kid.

>>7473765
Most sharks arent even endangered apart from great whites.

>>7469807
Shark has no bones though, so is suitable for people not caring enough to pick bones from other fish during a meal.
