Mako shark has a slightly sweet, meaty taste which is perfectly balanced with the herb-butter sauce that it's baked in.
Method: stovetop, oven
Time: 1-2 hours
Shark
The shark flesh has no bones, so if you are easily turned off by bony fish this might be a good choice for you. It's a very dense and meaty-textured fish, similar to swordfish. It holds its shape when cooked making it perfect on the grill. It can also be broiled, baked, poached and fried. Shark is also extremely low in fat.
If you can't get shark at your local fish market or grocery store, try substituting swordfish, mahi mahi, or tuna in place of it in these recipes.
