As sharks urinate through their skin it is important to clean
the flesh thoroughly before cooking or the flesh becomes
inedible. If you intend using that shark you have just caught
for tonight’s meal you will need to immediately remove the
head, gut it, bleed it and skin it. Once that is done you will
find a dark or red strip that runs down both sides of the
flesh, use your fillet knife to slice just under the dark surface
and remove it. Now you can slice the meat into manageable
steaks ready for the freezer or the BBQ. A sniff of the
prepared flesh or even shark you have purchased will detect
any ammonia odor which is a sign that it hasn’t been cleaned
properly.
