Shark meat where to buy

In Eastern Africa and islands in the Indian Ocean, shark meat has been traded and has been a significant source of protein for centuries. Shark meat is common and popular in Asia. Shark meat is typically consumed in prepared forms in Japan, such as in prepared fish sausage, surimi, fish paste, fish balls, and other products.

Shark meat is popular in Australia, where it is known as flake. Flake is sourced primarily from gummy shark, a small, bottom-feeding species abundant along the east coast of Australia. Flake can be purchased as a ready-made meal from most Australian fish and chip shops, usually in the form of battered or grilled fillets. Being conscientous of over fishing we only except Mako Sharks that are over the legal minimum size and weight so that the fish have had the opportunity to reproduce.

Mako Sharks are very popular and are often substituted for Swordfish in recipes calling for Swordfish. Fresh Mako Shark, though similar to Swordfish has meat that is slightly lighter and is almost always moister with a less meaty texture. Mako Shark steaks are boneless and are very easy to prepare. Fish and Seafood require expert handling to maintain the freshness of the product.

Though we don't see many sharks on our plates, the Thresher Shark is one of those sharks whose meat is considered a delicacy and that people eat quite often.

The Thresher Shark is a large lamniform shark from the Alopias family. Thresher sharks are found in all temperate and tropical oceans around the world. They hunt in large schools and eat bony fish, shrimps, squid, and crabs. Thresher shark is the only shark that hunts using its tail. Thresher Shark is meaty in texture, firm, and dense but has a relatively mild flavor. While some may think it's a joke, Thresher Shark does have a taste profile similar to chicken or alligator meat.

The taste is slightly sweet and due to the meatiness of the shark, it makes for great grilling!
