Mako Sharks are…Delicious!
I went grocery shopping today and they were all out of my favorite meal, fresh Thresher shark. They had mako shark, so I bought that instead and, DAMN, are makos tasty! As much as I like to eat Thresher shark, I started feeling bad about eating them after I saw some footage of a thresher…They are too damn cute and friendly looking! Look:
See?! Don’t they look friendly? Maybe I’m just weird about animals…Any how, on the other hand, Mako sharks are known man-eaters and have attacked many surfers.
See? Not so friendly looking and definately NOT something I want to see when I’m out surfing.
This reminds me of a story I saw in the paper a couple years back…A diver was spear fishing around the kelp patties off of Coronado and was surfacing. He looked behind him and saw a mako shark charging him, full speed & jaws open. Luckly the guy had the presence of mind to lower his spear gun and fired one shot through the gills, killing the shark instantly. I would of died of a freakin’ heart attack.
So, if you hear about a blonde chick in San Diego (or Costa Rica in December) that was attacked by a Mako shark, that would be me, reaping the benfits of karma for eating some angry Mako’s mommy.
What about the chances we’ll hear about some blonde chick attacking a Mako shark and dragging it up the beach for a barbeque?
So what does shark taste like?
Haha…I guess that’s true. I sure as hell would try to drag a shark to shore and bbq it, if it tried to attack me while surfing…I think the shark may have the advantage, though, so I promise nothing.
Shark is super yummy. It doesn’t have any sort of fishy taste to it and it very flaky and juicy (mako is juicier then thresher). Plus it’s very good for you…I highly recommend it!
I’m gonna try me some mako shark on monday. Never had shark before, ever…but it’s the boyfriend’s birthday, so we’re gonna eat us some shark.
Any recommendations on how to cook it up? We’re gonna BBQ the fishy…fun!!
Too cute to eat
Sadly Mako and Thresher are becoming very scarce in our oceans and with out them and the other sharks our ocean eco system will collapse
Please take this blog down and don’t encourage people to eat shark.
I thought that surfers would care and love the oceans not rape them.
STOP KILLING SHARKS !
You tell ‘em Gwyn…….what up people? Where is it written in the bible or anywhere else that humans have complete jurisdiction over the oceans and all of God”s creatures within it?
We freak if someone comes in our “space” and attacks us, yet we think nothing of doing it to others…..especially the ones who are just trying to live in their environment.
WTF!!! what an idiotic thing to say.. Yes it dies actually have some words to that affect in the bible. Whatever difference that makes. The biggest difference however. Is not what the bible says.
Its your hypocritical statement comparing animals should be revered more than humans. Friggn idiot! Must be one of those people that dont have a home or job. Live out in the toolies off the land. That dont use money, buy gas
Or electricity. Whatever!!! Your an idiot. Nothing man is ever gonna do that
Nature is not gonna do ten times over. No amount of humans will alter stop or change. Anything that the is gonna do on its own. If you want to eat Shark its good. Their great too catch too.. We dont bite hooks they do. So who is dominant over the fish in the oceans, birds in the skies, and the animals of the earth. Creatures that can read, write and not bite metal hooks with bait on them.
Oh because we actually look at what we eat and make a
CHOICE. Whether we want it or not.
Thats what separates human from animal
CHOICE.
Thats in the bible too. Whatever difference that makes!
