depends on type and size. chances are you had a bunch of blacktips. and sharks have to be like 54" or something like that. the smaller ones are good.

blacktips are the only ones good to eat around here. They actually have a bladder so their urine is excreted like a human. Other sharks simply leak their waste through their muscle mass and through their skin. Not a pleasant taste. Used to keep 1-2 blacktip sharks on my offshore outings. Simple to clean and tasty on the grill. Mako is another outstanding table fare but not too many around here.

I love some good shark but that's one animal that won't be put in my ice chest. The reports that I'm getting say that there are a bunch of sharks that look like a black tip but if your not a marine biologist you'll never know. If you put a shark in your ice chest, you better know exactly what it is! I had a trip last year where we hooked up to a rig and before we could get a hook in the water we had about 40 sharks around the boat...all different colors, shapes, and sizes. After what we caught and what I saw it made me a believer.
