I was always told that the fish sticks in schools were shark meat.

like this one we caught when i worked offshore..


and no we didnt eat it, they are really a nuisance when you're bottom fishing in the gulf. imagine reeling in 200+ feet of line, only to realize its a shark again.

Most sharks excrete their urine through their skin. Black tip and mako do not. To be safe I always cut them gill to gill, gutted them and tied them off the transom for a hour before putting them on ice. Shark is great grilled. I treat them like tuna or ling. My favorite is grilled with a creole mustard, honey and dill vineagrette. To cheat just add honey mustard and dill to italian dressing or buy one of the fancy dressings at the grocery store.

Def bull shark and u better start being more carefull wit em. Bull sharks are widely considered as one of the three top man eaters with the oceanic white tip and the great white! Those in the pics would be happy to take your leg in less then 3 ft of water!!!

54" fork length and you can gut them. gut them as soon as you catch them and rinse them out well. pack in ice. It is good eating

I guess using my foot to give a size comparison wasn't such a good idea. Next time I'll just use the beer can again.

Like stated above Mako and Black tip DO have a bladder and thus do not excrete urine through their muscle and skin. We used to catch them offshore all the time and they are excellent grilled with tony's and italian dressing. As far as cleaning them they are a piece of cake! Gut them and rinse very well. Then cut off fins (keep for soup or give to your asian neighbors). Lay shark on its belly and take your filet knife and cut them vertically into 1 1/2" steaks by starting behind the head working your way towards the tail. Once you have the steaks cut you can skin them very easily by simply fileting the skin from the flesh. Then season, grill, and enjoy!

pretty sure these are not black tips unless they are juveniles and have not developed their "black tips". See these two picture of black tips. Note that all fins have black tips.

Safety tip handling sharks: snatching and holding by the tail is not safe practice @ all!! Sharks can reach their tail with their mouths!!!

If anyone wants to catch some of those sharks. The shallow exposed shell reefs along the SW Pass are loaded with them. I caught about a dozen on live mullets the last trip until I ran out of leaders. Caught a few reds and trout until the sharks showed up.
