He can really catch some big ones.
As per usual, quality, informed post from this bloke. :thumbsup:re-tyred wrote:All sharks and rays are "edible" and taste very similar. However there isn't much meat on Bango's and the tough skin makes them a pain to skin.
Most of the "lower quality" sharks are not processed in the commercial industry as they have high shrinkage when cooked. If you get a piece of flake at a fish and chip shop and the meat rattles around inside the batter, then you know they are using low quality shark not gummy.
In my opinion stick to eating, gummy, swordshark, mako, Bronzies, eagle rays, large skate. The rest are rubbish. Even deep water dog shark shrink like hell.

Yummmmmeeeeeee
I cleaned one once to try out, I tried skinning it with out much luck, I ended up boiling a big pot of water and dropping the bits of fish in there for about two or three minutes each, the skin virtually fell off ! trouble was the flesh was half cooked by then so it only needed 1 to 2 minutes in the fry pan to finish it off. Definitely won't be cooking another one ! just release them they keep the sea floor clean, fish vacs ..eddyt wrote:Just curious how do you clean them? Just take off the tail and skin it? Ive caught some monsters before but never tried eating any. Tempted to try now
