Blacktip Shark

Blacktip Shark

^{We would never kill a shark on purpose. This Blacktip shark jumped clear out of the water, spinning as they often do. It got tail wrapped and came to the boat backwards, drowned. Looks alive though. We ate this one. The meat was beautiful.  Ate it all up in just a few days. It amazed me how good it tastes. The fins can be worth $500 each! I personally ate all of them as an experiment. Boil the fins for a dozen hours and you get grey sand in the bottom of the pot and a bunch of translucent little noodles that look like sperms.  Little heads and tails. The sand at the bottom of the pot was all tiny shark teeth. Dental Dermal. The little sperms are cartelage and have no flavor at all.}

^{The only unique aspect of these tiny cartalage noodles is they have a little snap to them when you bite one. And they have a rainbow hue in the translucent little sperm noodle. No taste, does nothing We catch big Blacktip Shark and other large Sharks in the evening with heavy tackle, trolling live bonitos same as marlin fishing. They are all powerful. Little ones like this one are common catch trolling small rapallas. Little Blacktip Sharks jump and fight hard same as the big ones.}

Blacktip Sharks are a great sportfish
