Shark is different and tasty. It's also low in fat, high in protien, and has a texture similar to Tuna or Swordfish but costs about half the price. I like to sear shark and finish it by broiling until medium/ medium rare inside but golden outside. Shark has a mild flavor and so sauces or other toppings work well. In this case, I topped with a sweet and spicy homemade salsa.
Shark is a good source of niacin, vitamins B6 and B12, phosphorus, and a very good source of selenium. Be advised, some shark is not harvested in a sustainable manner so be conscious of what you buy from the market. Shark may also contain amounts of methylmercury in excess of the FDA's recommended limit for moms, moms-to-be, and young children, so limit your intake. That said, it's worth a try when you find it.
