Shark steak

Shark steak is a cut of meat from a shark, most commonly from the blue shark or mako shark. The flesh is firm, pale in colour, with a mild flavour reminiscent of tuna or swordfish. Before cooking, it is recommended to marinate the meat or soak it in milk or water with vinegar to remove the naturally occurring ammonia scent that can be present in the tissue. It is best suited for grilling, pan-frying, or barbecuing. It is a rich source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. When purchasing, it is worth considering sustainability, as some shark species are threatened by overfishing.
