Sharks lives matter

LOL "OK, Big Man, so ya caught a shark with your bare hands. Now, what are ya gonna do with it?!?" *chuckle*

Had the swimmer been “brushed” by a Thresher shark’s tail, he would be MISSING some skin. = Thresher’s tails are VERY abrasive.
(The skin of a shark is NOT at all “slimy”.)

EUTHANIZED??

Are we too gentle to say KILLED??

[Salamander]

Zillions of tiny “teeth”.

[TMN78247]

EXACTLY SO & even a baby Thresher, like that 6-footer, would “beat you to a bloody pulp” with that tail. = A Thresher is about equally dangerous at the tail end as they are at the snout.

I wonder how they taste?

Guess it’s time for breakfast.

Two sharks injured and near death. Probably Orcas.

I was watching television with my family at Stinson Beach, amid the forest fires, earthquakes, landslides, pot-holed streets, drive-by shootings, riots, drug pushers, law suits, political corruption, looney-left insanity, etc., and the TV announcer said: "California could be hit by a tsunami."

That's when I said: "Okay. It's time to go."

I've never regretted it.

I wonder how they taste?

Amazing. Thresher shark is better than Swordfish.

I had a little sand shark scrape my leg swimming by me in Virginia, when I was a teen.

It was like hacksaw blade being dragged across my shin.

[Keyhopper]

Kinda sweet, like scallops

[TMN78247]

I’ve never eaten Thresher BUT the little Bonnetheads (to about 10-15#) are “JUST WONDERFUL”, simply gutted/skinned, put on the pit whole, mopped with melted butter/pepper & BBQed.

ImVho, only fresh WAHOO steaks, grilled over green hickory or pecan wood, is as good.

Never had Wahoo but Cobia is hard to beat, especially smoked.

Had some shark that was very good but it needs to be
bled after being caught.

[TMN78247]

IF we are to believe the “press report” that the lifeguards caught the little shark “with bare hands”, I wonder how their bare hands looked thereafter??
(It only took ONE such experience for “this country boy” grabbing an about 7-foot Bull shark, that I was trying to land without heavy gloves, to learn that lesson.)

He sleeps with the fishes.

[TMN78247]

Any shark that you want to cook NEEDS to be immediately killed, bled out (We usually cut off the head & hang them up for a few minutes), gutted/skinned & quickly ICED down. - In my experience, “waiting” quickly makes GOOD shark meat nearly inedible.

Having made a habit of grabbing little sand sharks now and then, *if* the shark didn’t squirm backwards, maybe not too bad.

:)

Not doing so allows ammonia to form and makes it uneatable.
