How to prepare "rotten shark!"

In Oz, if you buy fish 'n chips you'll almost certainly be eating shark, even if they tell you it's something else!
We used to catch gummy shark (commonly known as "flake") at Garden Island on holidays, often found small ones in the cray pots - according to this site they live on crayfish & such like.

Never did any of us any harm!
After a couple of weeks we used to get pretty sick of crays for breakfast, lunch & dinner though!! rolleyes.gif

Fish, rotten or not, has never been a big item for breakfast in my house...

BarbZ - You actually make "gummy shark" sound interesting; with all due respects to XABD!  I assume the recipe doesn't call for hanging it around for days or weeks?  Thanks!

Nah! Like all fish, the fresher the better.
Can't vouch for the stuff you get at the fish 'n chip shop though. rolleyes.gif

I think the only time we had fish for breakfast was on holidays - Dad would catch it (very) early in the morning or overnight (rock, reef or surf fishing), come back & clean & cook it for breakfast. He spent most of the 2 weeks fishing - off the jetty or out in the dinghy were other alternatives.
None of us (my sisters & I) were into fishing then, but we were hoiked out of bed at 5am every morning to walk over to the back beach to pull the cray pots, followed by a freeeezing dip in the ocean before walking back.
He was still at it when we were all grown up & taking *my* kids over to the island for holidays.
Great days!
Can't do that any more - Garden Island now belongs to the navy & has very restricted day access only.

Best fish I ever had in the mornings was freshly caught trout up in the Rockies; that was really something, no fancy prep just salt and pepper!

Unfortunately, I can't catch trout locally; just bass, crappie, bluegill and such!  I also like catfish but I'm a little leary of pulling them out of the Kaw (there is stuff in there I don't want to know about).

gunug, you can get some brown and maybe rainbow trout just a 'little' South of you. Drive down to Beaver Lake, just East of Fayetteville and West of Eureka Springs (barely South of the MO line). Right below the dam, the water is very clear and very cold. The Arkansas Wildlife folks keep an eye on the population there. Nothing else can be found there because the water to much too cold for bass, crappie and other 'lake' species. That's the only place I really enjoyed fishing in my entire life. Let me know when you get everyone well and plan a trip down there. It will take me even longer to get there than for you but it's about time I went back...
I'd even eat some of those trout for breakfast! yum.gif
