My brother went deep sea fishing about a week ago and his spoils came to about, oh I'd say about 25 lbs of black tipped shark meat. I had no idea what to do with all of it let alone how to cook it. Google-fu to the rescue.
What did I discover? There are two options to cook shark: frying and baking. I found this recipe and thought we should get a jump start on consuming this... meat.
Seven Spiced Shark Steak
Ingredients:
3 (8 ounce) shark steaks
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chili powder
Cooking:
1. Rinse the shark steaks and trim off any skin.
2. Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic salt, thyme, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl to form a paste. Spread a thin layer of the soy sauce mixture on both sides of each shark steak. Place on a plate and cover. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Arrange the shark on a baking sheet. Bake the shark in the preheated oven until cooked completely through, about 40 minutes, turning the steaks over once, about half-way through the cooking time.
Tine's Notes: Subbed dried thyme for the fresh [who actually has that on-hand all the time?] Shark meat is very clean tasting and not at all fishy like I thought it may be. The spices in this recipe really go all out. You should probably taste it before slathering it on as I did not. Needless to say our sinuses were quite clear after dinner this night. It's quite a kick. [I hear shark tacos are the way to go. Anyone have a recipe or suggestions for more shark recipes? Better yet, anyone want to take some off our hands?]
Seeing as how my mother flips out knowing she is eating shark, brother instructed that I continue to cook it and tell her it's just fish. On it.

*NEW Thing I learned: I suck at filleting.
