black tip shark

[bjfowle]

I was given a couple of shark steaks recently. I'm planning grilling them up tomorrow night. Can anyone give me some tips?

I have not done shark for a long time but seem to remember they had the consistency of a steak but of course my well seasoned memory may not be so good.

I have blackened well over a hundred redfish, speckled trout, and catfish fillets using Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish seasoning - that may work. Also blackened chicken breast and steak but just twice on each.

Blackened Redfish - I get pretty heavy with the seasoning

First side


Second side


CI skillet real hot - about 1-1/2 minutes per side

Here couple more ideas~

Marinated Shark

1½ lbs. shark steaks
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. balsamic, rice or wine vinegar
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. oil
2 T. chopped parsley
1 clove garlic pressed or minced
1/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
minced green onions ñ parsley

Cut shark steaks into service-sized pieces.
Place them in glass dish. Combine soy sauce- vinegar- lemon juice,- oil parsley- garlic ñ black pepper. Pour marinade over fish -marinate 30 minutes- turning at least once.
Remove fish (reserving the marinade- broil 4 to 5 inches
Brush with marinade before turning.
Serve with minced green onions n parsley.

Serve with Rice and vegetable pilaf- leaf lettuce tossed with parsley-lemon dressing, and French or Italian sourdough bread.
Fish should be cooked only until it flakes easily. Check it often to prevent overcooking- which will not only make it rubbery- it will render it tasteless.
