shark meat

Fish counter rarity

Shark meat is the flesh of sharks prepared as food.

It appears in cuisines worldwide—grilled, dried, smoked, or in fish and chips where it may be sold under names like flake or rock salmon.

Shark meat can contain high levels of mercury, making frequent consumption inadvisable.

The restaurant serves shark meat tacos with lime and cilantro.
