Eating Putrified Shark

[morraar]

So sharks pee through their skin? I call bs.

[legourmettv]

@morraar I think he's referring to the high urea content of this species of shark that makes it poisonous

Too kill parasites?

[Jojeeh]

[raymondleeleggs]

[legourmettv]

@raymondleeleggs Not cooked at all... RAW!!!

[TheTumboos]

I'm very curious about this stuff. I'd like to try it out.

[rathlone]

so glen, you feeling nostalgic yet? your guide explained everything real well!!

[legourmettv]

Can't wait to go back... with enough Reyka in me I'll even eat the shark again.

He's more or less right. The flesh of the basking shark, unlike some other shark species, is full of uric acid waste as a kind of antifreeze. It's toxic to eat when fresh, even if it's cooked. So they bury it in the sand for three months until it has literally rotted, then slice it and dry it. This removes enough uric acid to make it edible, but it still reeks of ammonia and tastes like chewy, rotten shark meat.
