I had a neighbor in L.A. that would spear Mako shark. He'd bring them home and cut them into steaks and they were great on the grill.

Yes I love Mako.. Bit darker meat and texture than swordfish.. Not as dry..
My buddies son was commercial long lining sharks down in the Keys until recently.. Govt. go green people put a stop to their fishing..
Good sized boat. They would run the line, shoot the shark in the head, jump in and cut the fins. Sell them too the Orient.. Take turns at the helm and the shooting..
Keep the fins in freezers till the price was right.. They asked me if I wanted to take a day trip?
Not a chance in hell, just no. NO..

I had a small bit a whale in Alaska. Tasted rancid and smelled like wet horse hide. It was in my mouth for only a few seconds at best.

Ditto for seal blubber. Talk about snot in your mouth.....

don't shark plugs get sold as scallops also ? seems i remember my dad telling me if my scallops were all the same size or maybe two or three consistent sizes i was probably getting skate or shark.

Years ago my local Kroger store marked down a 5lb box of frozen Squid. Maybe I cooked it wrong. Most seafood/fish I like. Chewed like rubber and tasted like old shoe leather.

sounds about right. squid is best utilized as bait.

Terry Bradshaw on Sushi.. "Back home we call that bait. Get that crap out of here."
Squid- Calamari. Have to or if you want, develop a taste for it.. Do not over cook it.. I grew up with the Sicilians when I was a kid.. They had us chew on rubber bands for hours before they would let us sit down and eat their calamari.. After the rubber bands the calamari was great..
Whale meat- Bergen Norway at their college dorm.. Big sign "Do not use the kitchen" yeah right.. Off to the docks bought some whale meat.. We heaved it in the pan.. Norwegian Police with hazmat suits were looking for the smell.. Back to the dock. "What the frig did you sell us?" "Did you soak it in milk for 3 days?"
flopshot, never heard of that.. But God only knows.. With fish getting so expensive. Certain fish people never thought of eating, are becoming a delicacy..

If you are going to eat whale, it has to be VERY fresh, or at least freshly frozen. If not, you get the fishy taste you mention.

As for Tilapia, the stuff I've gotten in stores up here taste like mud, so I've stopped trying to make something edible out of it. The wild Tilapia I've eaten throughout most of Africa was always nice and tasty, without the mud taste of the farmed fish we get up here.

Oh my God it was kind of funny.. Your town Bergen Norway.. Beautiful. Too much history to speak..
So college spring break we stay at college in Bergen.. Nice, clean, "Please do not use our kitchen."
Like typical ugly Americans, what do we do? Correct, cook in the kitchen.. Why the world hates us..

Oh my God Eric.. We go too the docks, fish for sale and buy whale meat.. Yum.. Oh God no, yuk..
We used their cooking utensils. Honest to God the Norwegian Police were looking for us.. We hid in our room.. They would have beat us to death.. Damn it was a toxic smell..
Smelled like burning tires in Bridgeport Connecticut.
Dock- Yah. Stupid Americans.. You should have asked how to cook it..
I love Norway. But I think you guys are still looking for us..

I'll check the system and see if you are on the wanted list 4th.

I am allready on the "Almost Do Not Fly List." Military I.D.. Concealed carry permit.. F.B.I. clearance letter, FFL.. Oh God no.. Do not check..

Wanted list? I guess. I just can not figure by whom?

An Internet friend, several years ago, told me about eating whale.
Right after one was harvested, a fin was mounted on an ice block.
That was for anyone with a taste, while they worked.
Cutting up that whale for the village.

He finally decided to try it.
Seemed everyone was just cutting off a bit size piece,
then dipping it in this clear, thick liquid.

Okay, "Here goes," he says.
Cut a very small piece, dipped it and popped it in his mouth.
One chomp and his gut rebelled.
Spit it out and went to the edge of the ice for some salt water.

Even with that sea water, it required several mouthfulls to rid
his mouth of SEAL oil and Whale meat.

Those Natives, at the top of Alaska, have wierd tastes.

I pass, unless it is well cooked.

The darker color of any fish tends to dictate the strength of flavor. Any thing that migrates vast distance also has to do with the flavor.

Another thing about tilapia that few folks realize is they will bleach the fish. I have seen it green (imported from china) to a decent vermillion (fresh from costa rica)

COOL compliant is something everyone should look @ when it comes to raw meat & seafood. Cool stand for country of origin labeling. It also tells if it wild caught or farm raised.

Farmed raised fish tends to have color added or bleached out of it.

100% yes boon.. Now look at the new labeling on the fish packages since it has gone viral on the computers..
Imported from the "Orient" is so small, you need a scope to see it..
Our Talipea is fresh caught from the springs.. Whatever.. God it is good.. Fresh white meat, no fish flavor.. If you buy fish and it smells like fish. Refuse it, ask for another.. It is rotting..
I feed my little Bream everyday off my dock.. For real, not a joke.. They know my footsteps.. Hundreds of them.. They line up like a Military formation.. Honest too God..
If the SHTF could I eat them? Fuck no.. I will find food and feed them. They are my Bros..
