Fried Atlantic Sharpnose

I caught a dandy sharpnose shark out at the CHS60 (couldn’t get away from em). Completely gutted it on the spot and sawed thru 1/2 the tail and let it bleed out in the salt water for 10 mins, then iced it down in the fish box.

Once on shore I fileted it out removing the skin. Never did freeze it but kept the slabs in ice and water. Next day I cut the meat into big 2" chunks, coated with House Autry, fried in 365 degree veggie oil.

Wife went bonkers! Loved it! Best shark I’ve ever had.

I agree with that,sharpnose are delicious.One of the few that you really don’t have to bleed.I’ve kept them on ice overnight and cleaned them the next day with no difference in the taste.I’ve heard that they’re one of the few sharks that don’t pee through their skin.
