missed this one man. very cool. quick question i know shark is edible but somebody told me its nasty cause they pee through their skin. have ya eaten it?

[Coo-wah-chobee]

  Yup been eatin' shark fer lots of years. Ya kno' dude "waste not want not !" I wash the meat good in salt water then marinate it in coconut juice. Guess ya could use anythin'. apples , oranges, milk , blah-blah-blah. Grill it over open fire pit and dig-in''. Like it with bannanas an avacados er oranges in season...yummy...."me fill belly ugh"...........Oooga booga

Jamie, When I lived in coastal SC we would catch small sand sharks , cut them into steaks, soak them in salt water to remove the ammonia and cook them like pork chops on the grill. They do urinate through their skin and that is where the ammonia comes from. Good eats!      Pat

shark is good stuf, i have only had it in restaurants but it was beautiful stuff. 

also, i wouldn't turn your nose up to urinating through skin, since sweat has much the same chemical make up as urine, and you know a lot of that has dripped into your mouth and eyes while bent over a bow makin shavings!

  Mmmm,, Shark real good.They are fun to catch on top of the water or spear fishing when you are the bait.I soak the steaks in buttermilk and grill 'em.

[jamie]

eddie i think i could dig that. 

[mullet]

  it's fun Jamie.It comes down to,they want the fish you have,and you either end up on their stringer or you have a bunch of fish on yours  .It,s like bowhunting in zero gravity.When the big boys show up the spear point comes off and the 357 powerhead goes on.

[Justin Snyder]

You big coward.  If you cant get them with the spear, maybe you should try a big knife.  Justin

You guys on the coast are havin too much fun, shark fishin and such . Bob, that abo stuff looks like a lot of work, cool you made it the old way though - don't know that I'd have tha patience.

[Coo-wah-chobee]

                     Paul sure ya would have the patience yer a knapper !"May be a very good exercise in pre-columbian attitudes" ya know " it takes as long as its gonna take " er Like Yogi Berrra once said "It aint over 'till its over !" .............bob
