  Shark is wonderful. Like any fish you must not overcook it. In some restaurants it is served under the swordfish name and it is very similar. A 1 inch thick steak, coated in olive oil/garlic marinade. On a hot grill about 3-4 mins on each side.

  Jeff, since you're in Indiana I assume your shark is frozen. No problem, but make sure it is completly thawed before grilling.

  Yep - what I ate was a bit 'chewy' - likely due to what you stated. It was not fully thawed when I grilled it. Next time will be better then. Nonetheless, it was not bad at all. Thanx Gregor.

  The tinfoil and garlic idea sounds good too.

  Thanx all for the ideas.

  I had shark steak when at South Padre Island in Texas. Grilled, It was pretty good, but after being in the sun on the beach all day, with a bit of beer, anything is good!!!'

  When I lived in Halifax we used to go to the Fisherman's Market and get shark and tuna steaks for $0.99 a pound so we ate our fair share of it. One steak would feed our family of 4. It was always BBQ'd, and what we found best was wrapping it in tin foil with a healthy dose of lemon, butter, salt and pepper and cooking it for about 10 minutes on medium. Came out perfect every time! Make sure you close the lid on the BBQ though.

  I have eaten shark as well as swordfish steak and really couldn't tell the difference.

  Could be because I thought they were/are one and the same. I read an article some years ago stating that if swordfish steaks are on sale at your local fish market or grocery store..............they are more than likely shark. Could be that any market could fool the unknowing like me.

  I just googled shark/swordfish and came up with the following.

  Shark is sometimes sold as swordfish, but it’s easy to tell the difference. Swordfish steaks have four whorls in the meat and smooth skin around the edges. Shark meat has an unsymmetrical grain and rough skin.

  When the family arrived tonight they complained that it 'stinks in here' - I guess the aroma of grilled shark is less than pleasant.

  It's high in mercury & other toxins. Limit the amount you eat it to once a month.
