Anybody got any recipes for cooking bonnetheads or atlantic sharpnose?
When we catch a shark…we immediately gut and belled it…but make sure you leave the head/ tail intact in case you are checked by DNR before you get home…and check your regs on length required. Skin the shark and cut into steaks and "nuggets…or large scallop size pieces. The steaks are really good on the grill…there is no fat in shark so we cook it for the first few minutes on the hottest part…then move to a lower temperature. Use fresh citrus juices, herbs,lemon,garlic or ginger on it for added flavor. Soaking in Italian dressing with a little citrus juice too is a good marinade, You can also brush with mayo and sprinkle some herbs on it or cut into small chucks and make kabobs. I like mine dredged in bested egg…shake in a ziplock bag of s seafood breaker…I like house Autry or lakeside or zatarans seafood breader…salt and pepper to taste and deep fry…again…you can also marinade for added taste in Italian dressing or a citrus marinade… I love shark meat…call me strange…but I do…

Anyone who will eat fish from our harbor…ESP. Around plum island probably won’t bat a eye at a shark.lol. I know I would pick the shark rather than the harbor fish…!

Thanks Guys !!!
looks like penfishn covered how to clean them, but what i do for shark steak is rinse them off good and cut off all red meat. douse some lemon juice on the pieces and sprinkle with old bay and or lemon pepper. the combination of the 2 i learned is really good! ill then rub a bit of olive oil on them and toss em on the grill, but dont overcook them. ive never had any complaints from people i served shark to. another simple method i do is beer batter using maseca (corn flour found in mexican food section) and beer of choice, then dip in cocout and deep fry.
I use the same recipe for sharks that retiredbc72 uses for skate:smiley:
quote:
Here's a old but good recipe for skate. Clean it and place it on a pine board. Add salt, pepper, and lots of lemon and butter. Place it on indirect heat on your grill. Cook it on medium for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, pull it off the grill, throw the skate away and eat the pine board!
I don’t even want the nasty SOB in the fishbox stinking up the good fish. To each their own
