Shark steaks

Mitch Mitch@... said:

I've never had shark. It's on sale this week at Kroger so I thought
I'd get some.

What's it like? Mahi mahi?

Can I get some recipes?

It's nothing like mahi mahi. It's hard to make shark taste good
because they [censored] through their skin. Smoking it or grilling it on an
open flame is your best bet.

Oh [censored]. It's easy to make shark taste good, and they have a vent
just like any other fish.

Cheese Fish Pie???

That's a new one on me! Sounds very interesting.
I've got it saved for future reference and am wondering how it would
work with catfish nuggets.

Cheese Fish Pie???

When I made that page a couple years ago, I wanted a link to a recipe
for [Google] groupers; I just saw the name. I didn't notice that one
was a shellfish recipe. I shall change that to something grouperer.
More grouperful. Groupier. Whatever. 🙂

<clickety>

Okay, I'm using this one.

http://activeangler.com/resources/cooking/recipes/grouper/grouper_recipe4.asp

Thanks for accidentally pointing out that I needed to change to a more
relevant link.

Okaaaayyyy...
But there is a reason I'm not overly fond of Mid-eastern food.
I find most of it to be either overly bland or overly spicy. ;-)

If I'm going to spend the money on grouper, I want to taste the FISH not
the spices!

What's wrong with simple grilled grouper with Dill weed, a bit of black
pepper and lemon slices? ;-d

It's rather inexpensive around here, if you purchase the nuggets. Last
time I looked, they were $1.69 per lb.
The fillets were somewhat higher ($3.99 to $4.99) with whole (skinned
and beheaded) fish running somewhere in between.

In the context of my anti-GG page, there, the point of having a link to
a grouper recipe is humor, not cooking. 🙂

I'd go for spicy, given that choice.

Nothing. But that's not the recipe I found when I went looking for one
for my Usenet Improvement page. Again, the recipe itself is irrelevant
in context. 🙂

I remember those days, but it's usually about $6.99 at at the super
where I generally shop here in Los Angeles, and nuggets go for more
like $3.99.

Wow. For farmed or wild?
Farmed catfish is most common around here.

The way I most often fix nuggets is dusted/deep fried or grilled on the
hamilton electric grill.

Due to cost etc., I have to label catfish as our #1 favorite and most
often eaten fish here.

We don't eat anywhere near enough fish due to the cost. <sigh>

Shows how much you know you ding dong. Sharks [censored] through their
skin. You have to properly bleed a shark immediately so it doesn't
have an ammonia flavor. Sharks have [censored], but they don't have
[censored] holes.

Obviously a troll.

I just did some googling and Sharks have kidneys.

Uric acid is removed like any other Chordate with kidneys.

If your shark steaks smell of ammonia, it's because they were not
chilled properly or quickly. It has nothing to do with their elimination
system.

It may be "obviously a troll", but it's also true, mostly. Sharks have
very high levels of uric acid in their blood to make it isotonic with
sea water. The kidneys just maintain this high level and keep it from
getting too high.

Now I'm thinking about floured and fried smelt, which I grew up eating
