Mozambican Shark Recipes

GRILLED GULF SHARK

Steps:

• Place the shark steaks in a shallow dish and pour milk over them to cover. Let stand for 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Remove the shark steaks from the pan and pat dry. Discard leftover milk. Season the steaks with lemon juice, sea salt and pepper.
• Grill the steaks until meat is firm, about 15 minutes, turning once. Fish should appear white all the way through.

SEVEN SPICED SHARK STEAKS

Steps:

• Rinse the shark steaks and trim off any skin.
• Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic salt, thyme, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl to form a paste. Spread a thin layer of the soy sauce mixture on both sides of each shark steak. Place on a plate and cover. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Arrange the shark on a baking sheet. Bake the shark in the preheated oven until cooked completely through, about 40 minutes, turning the steaks over once, about half-way through the cooking time.
