Is shark meat found in supermarkets safe for human consumption?
Although shark flesh contains high levels of urea and methylamine, any residual toxins that are not washed away when the carcass is cleaned will quickly dissipate when cooked. However, sharks may contain high concentrations of heavy metals, primarily in larger, older individuals. Shark meat is low fat and provides a good source of protein for people living in many parts of the world. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/nsrc/Basics.htm#meat The photo Taken from an Indonesian fishing vessel on the Arafuru Sea, West Papua, Indonesia. They had cut all the fins and separated them. The shark meat is delicious, just cut into pieces, add the special powder, then ready to be fried. Have a nice try!
