About Fish, shark, mixed species, raw
Shark is a firm, meaty fish sometimes called the steak of the sea because it cooks up dense and satisfying rather than flaky. Species like mako, thresher, and blacktip are the ones you are most likely to find at the market, sold as thick boneless steaks with a mild, faintly sweet flavor that readily soaks up a marinade. It is a lean source of protein and delivers selenium, vitamin B12, and some omega-3 fatty acids, all while staying low in fat.
Because the flesh naturally carries urea, a quick soak in milk, lemon juice, or a saltwater brine before cooking keeps it sweet and clean-tasting. Shark holds up beautifully on the grill and shows up in fish and chips, tacos, and kebabs. One important caveat: shark sits high on the ocean food chain and tends to accumulate mercury, so nutrition authorities advise limiting it and steering pregnant women and young children away from it.
Many species are also overfished, so it is worth choosing responsibly sourced options and eating shark only occasionally.
