Re: Lemon Shark

Post by JewieQueen »

A little one may taste ok but dont bigger sharks have loads of ammonia in them? Or it that an old wives tale. I dont eat shark so would'nt really know. Good luck wrestling a big one into the boat. Have landed one around 2 meters in front of the dundee lodge and trying to get the hook out of it was a mission. It bucked around like a rodeo bull and smashed us with its tail (which ofcourse hurt) on the sinker thing, Kmart sell snapper leads dirt cheap. 3 dollars for 5 or something rediculous like that.


It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming.

Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day. But teach a man how to fish, and he'll be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.

“Fishing, with me, has always been an excuse to drink in the daytime”

"Soon after I embraced the sport of angling I became convinced that I should never be able to enjoy it if I had to rely on the cooperation of the fish."

No ammonium JQ. But being a top order predator they have higher levels of mercury but you would only worry about those levels if you were pregnant.......or anal.....or OCD.....one serve of shark per week won't harm anyone.
Its not a crisis unless there is blood around.
If there is blood around......well its a police matter...

I saw a docomentary a while ago that the islanders (figi or png) caught and ate lemons sharks.
They fished for them from those wooden canoes which is crazy...
I wish they come over here and clear out our supplies.

I think you might find the ones in the US are the toothy critters. The true Lemmon Sharks. As Cuddlescooper pointed out, the ones we call "Lemon shark" are really Tawny Nurse sharks.

SO we need to call em TAWNYS from now on as opposed to Lemons ?? as the owner of a fish and chip shop i can tell you it is illeagle to sell flake that has come from a shark any longer than 1m trunked, actually you cant even buy it from suppliers over a meter, merc levels are to high apparently, as Olfart said the black tip under a meter bled trunked and slurry brined is bl..dy lovely and is very popular ,also if you wish to eat one do the brine bit and then freeze it , its one of those fish that really benifits from being frozen, it knocks off most of the amonia smell and taste !! dont know why it just does...
