Sorry, but when you said a 40" blacktip, we all assume you are asking about a 40" (size), blacktip shark (species). A blacktip has to be 54" TL to be legal, so I’d turn it loose and eat something else:wink:

Even if it was legal size, I’d still turn it loose and eat something else.

The Blacktip I’ve eaten was before the 54" limit. I gutted it, bled it, headed and tailed, put the chunk left on ice. At the house, skinned it, cut into about 1.5" steaks, marinaded in Italian dressing a couple of hours, some lemon-pepper, baked at 375* for 12 minutes, tasted just like chicken with a hint of fish.

The problem now-a-days is the 54"+ critter has to be landed ‘whole’. Not worth hauling that sucker around … :wink:
