It tastes just like chicken. :rolleyes:

I was under the impression sharks ate whatever fell into their mouths (mostly fish, sea-mammals, license plates) and whale sharks ate plankton?
hh

it looks like most of it is blubber. the red swirls toward the top of the 'citrus segments' look like meat (a bit like salmon) .....but mostly, i think it's bubble gum flavored.

I agree...it looks like pink grapefruit.

What??? No one watched Planet Earth on DSC last night?? WTF. :bolt:

From memory, it's a very meaty fish - and similar to swordfish.

It doesn't have a strong fishy flavour (although this may depend on how it's cooked) and it has the same chewy consistency as meat.

In short - yummy.

While we're picking on people's word choice, I will observe that flensing is for whales and fletching is for arrows. [/pedant]

Carry on.

oh whatever. I knew it was something like that..... don't I at least get a C- for effort? ;)

You get an A+ when it comes to fish, in my book.

The king crab and the orca and the beef all look purty darn good too, but the salmon was... heaven.

Very salty and rough.

Well, the following from Wikipedia may be enlightening:

...All four whale sharks were imported from Taiwan, where whale sharks are dubbed as Tofu sharks because of the taste and texture of the flesh.

Tofu? Blegh, definitely throw it back. :vomitblu:

Who wants a chum stick?


BTW, never like the taste of shark. It has a mildewy taste to me.

Dolphin?

Tofu tastes good as long as you get it fresh and cook it the right way. Kind of in the same sense as broccoli.

I always thought shark tasted like eel...

One of the nicest tasting fish I ever consumed was a steak cut from what we called a river shark. They only grow to somewhere between 2 and 3 feet in length, and its flesh was extremely white, and very tasty - not overpowering at all.

BTW, whale sharks only eat krill, and do not have teeth. They are very gentle creatures, and grow to a huge size. We have often watched documentaries with people happily swimming with them - not for me, though. :eek:
