It's shark week on the discovery channel right now. Had nothing to do with you or your username.

I have had thresher shark steaks. I do not like it as well as cod. The meat is very firm. I thought people ate a lot of shark.

Battered and fried shark (aka "Flake") with chips (aka "French fries") with squeezed lemon juice is amazing (at least in Australia), and is one of my favorite seafoods.

Who was it, Steve Irwin's son? He said: "We shouldn't fear or hate sharks but we need to respect them"...

Nope. I hate 'em and I don't respect a FISH! They're fish. Fish that will rip your limbs off and/or kill you. Halibut fish n' chips from Burgerville is pretty good.

Sharks definitely don't pee through their skin.

Sharks don't urinate like humans, but they do expel excess urea through their skin and gills. Sharks convert their urine into urea, a non-toxic nitrogen-containing substance, which is stored in their bloodstream and muscle tissue. This urea helps sharks retain water and salts, preventing them from drying out in salty seawater. Because sharks maintain high concentrations of urea in their bodies, they don't need to get rid of it regularly.

When a shark dies, the urea breaks down into ammonia, which can give the meat a strong odor and may be toxic in high concentrations. Marinating the meat in liquids like lemon juice, vinegar, milk, or saltwater can help reduce the urea content and ammonia odor.

In fact, shark's don't pee as we know it at all. Their urine is actually absorbed by the flesh, and the urea is used to stop the sharks from 'drying out' and losing water from their bodies to the salty surroundings. Any excess is simply expelled back into the water through their skin or gills.


Enjoy!

You don't have to be so pissy about it!

Do you respect bears or cougars or are you just such a badass you don't need to be somewhat cautious around these species either?

I knew a guy that grew up in Hawaii and he said they all hated sharks. Where he grew up people would pull off the road to watch feeding frenzies.. He told me he once saw a swarm of sharks rip a whale apart, close to shore no less. That would certainly make an impression on me.

Should I have to be overly cautious when I'm trying to enjoy the ocean with my kids? Dangerous fish species with a long history of attacking humans (and killing babies) and now the populations are out of control because they're protected and treated like little gods by the mentally challenged. Shows like Shark Week have built a fan base for these useless apex predators. I have zero respect for fish.

Cows kill more people than sharks do.

So why aren't cows extinct? Because they're delicious and they have good milk

SHarks on average kill 5 people a year, horses kill 20 a year, cows 22 a year, crocodiles A 1,000 a year. Worldwide.

A cow encounter is less likely to be fatal. I saw some cows last Thursday.

I hate Yellow Jackets and Hornets too, and those kill probably nobody. But they are disruptive and mean, and they have no natural enemies and are therefore too high up the food chain to matter IMO.

Just saying you're more likely to die from a bull goring, or a horse stampede than from a shark...

And sharks do have two natural predators, humans (I dont care what anyone say, humans are natural predators to pretty much everything ) and orcas/killer whales.

I respect and try not to piss those entities that can remove parts or end my life. Wether it's a little black spider or a 1500lb grizzly bear. I believe caution and sound judgement can solve a lot of problems. There is a difference between being scared and showing respect.
