Initially I froze it because I had ling cod and sandy to eat, and to give me time to think. Today I have it soaking in brine for smoking tomorrow. My wife is making miso soup with the bones (cartilage). I’ll post on the smoked results. Jaws are cleaned and dried, fins are drying for possible future soup.

I'd probably just cut the fins off for soup and throw the rest away.

j/k

I like the way you render your catch.

BTW, I have some things to give you next time we meet.

Finished smoking the sevengill. Tastes great! I was going to see how it turned out before deciding whether to keep sharks in the future. This will be great appetizers with crackers cream cheese and green onions for the holidays!

I guess I’ll be shark hunting during the January and February months.

Those steaks look great too.

Hats off to you for making it work!

And the wife made some miso soup from the meaty cartilage. Almost nothing going to waste.

Nice that you took good care of your catch and used it all. That being said, I hope we don't see a trend in targeting sharks. They're under a lot of pressure generally and I like having them around.
