- First, let's deal with the steaks. Cooked shark meat is very tender and tasty, with no small bones at all. But the blood of almost all sharks, unlike other fish, contains a lot of urea, which gives the raw meat an ammonia smell and a bitter-sour taste. Don't let that put you off — a little extra prep before cooking removes those qualities completely and reliably. So, how to prep the meat. A few methods work: — Pre-boil the fish. — Soak it in milk or acidified cold water (up to 2 hours). — And using acidic ingredients during cooking is guaranteed to clear away any traces left after soaking. For this recipe, start the prep the evening before your cookout. Here's how:
- — Soak the steaks for 30 minutes in cold water with half of the lemon juice. While the shark soaks, make the marinade: in the dish you'll marinate both steaks in, stir together all the ingredients except the steaks. Now marinate the shark: — Take the steaks out of the acidulated water and pat them dry with paper towels. — Add the fish to the marinade and rub it in well on all sides. — Leave it in the fridge until it's time to head out. You can marinate the shark faster if you're pressed for time — even 2 hours will do — but longer is better. Now it's presumably the next day and you're standing at the grill with your spicy, marinated shark steaks. The last flame is dying down on your fresh coals, and the best part is here: — Lay the steaks on the grill grate and cook 5–10 minutes per side, until browned to your liking. — Enjoy the exotic aroma and watch everyone at the party drift over to the grill one by one ;) Dig into your hot dish!
