FAQs about shark
Shark meat has a mild, almost sweet flavor that people often say does not taste fishy. It tastes similar to chicken or alligator meat. Some people even say it tastes like pork.
Many people think it's not legal to eat shark meat in the United States. However, shark is perfectly legal to consume. In fact, U.S. shark fisheries provide grocers with a sustainable source of meat, and it's served in many restaurants across the country. It's only the practice of finning that's illegal. Finning is when a fisher cuts the fin off a shark and throws the finless fish back into the water to die.
Sharks produce large amounts of urea. As soon as a shark is reeled in, the urea in its system starts to break down into ammonia. It then gets absorbed into the shark's flesh and comes out through the skin. If you leave the meat unprepared for too long, it can start to smell like ammonia. Marinating shark meat in lemon juice, buttermilk, vinegar, or saltwater helps reduce the amount of urea and minimize the smell of ammonia.
