No!! But I know a guy......

Screw it, we'd look pretty stupid trying to chop up and snort a shark.

And as I understand it, preparing shark for eating is not too easy as they urinate through their skin or something...

We better choose correctly..................


All sharks excrete urine through the skin and ammoniate the flesh with the exception of mako, thresher and great white sharks. These three species actually have a urinary tracks and do not urinate through the skin.

Makes you wonder who was the guy that found this out?

Coming from a person that lives far from an ocean, it’s a little disturbing you know this fact…

New Haven is on Long Island Sound... Cape Cod is not far and neither is Rhode Island.

But I don't live ON the water, unless the rain is particularly heavy. Then I suddenly have lake-front property until the yard drains.

Shark fin soup. Why is it popular?

 

[J!m]

Maybe the pee doesn't come out the fin?

I just saw the ingredients on the Gas Station Sushi and it said that it was made with Pee-Free fins from Mako's, maybe their soup is similar.

“No sharks were harmed making this product.”

Ya gotta have that disclaimer.

 

[Gibsonian]

Will pass on the shark cocaine and pee soup for now.

 

[J!m]

It's definitely an acquired taste.

So… who and why did someone decide to test sharks for drugs?

 

[Bob Boyer]

Perry's article quoted some marine biologists sponsored by a foundation that is looking into drugs getting into the ocean, I guess. Among other things.
