Shark error?!

[burnie]

Sharks have water proof skin and it retains a lot of their waste products,so it has to be thoroughly soaked in fresh water for at least 12 hours before cooking,otherwise it will have a strong amonia flavour(if you get my meaning),this also applies to rays and dogfish as well.

The verdict (sorry, meant to post but forgot)

I did a teriyaki marinade and they were barbecued. Verdict of everyone who tried them - tasteless.

I won't be buying it again no matter how ethical or inexpensive they are!

My ex partner had some "sharks Fin" as a "tropical" dish at the old Poole Pottery restaruant some years ago.........The word to describe the taste is.......well......crap! Salty as hell, no "taste" other than "Jeez! That tastes of the sea!" Methinks this "taste" might have been the "Tropical" bit.
