    Yeah, shark meat is nice if you cook it right. But the sharks that you harvest the fins from are grown sharks, and of a different species, so I don't think they sell the meat. The shark meat that we eat come from a different species of shark...smaller ones.

    The flesh is firmer than most fish. Texture is kinda like tuna, but smoother.

    so is the meat expensive?

    Not very expensive. Maybe cos there's not much demand for shark meat. Where I stay, it's fish like fresh salmon, tuna and cod that cost a hand and a leg

    cause nobody eats it and it's considered exotic and sharks are endangered here and all that stuff

    too sleepy to play games now lol, but i think shark meat here is considered the same of what you guys think of ngap chai tan

    Nah...I think the people haven't discovered that it can be eaten, so there's no demand, that's why no sales. But it's nothing special or exotic la, you're not missing anything
