March 26, 2007: Shark sliced on dock



It's Neatorama collaboration Monday!



The Daily Mail has the full story of the Chinese fishermen who gamely battled this whale shark.

It looks like once they got it to shore, there wasn't a crane large enough to manage it, so they just found that big ol' knife and cut the sucker up right there. The story says it was later cut up further, and became food. DAMN but that's a lotta meal. If you order shark in the town where this happened, I bet you get a sector of this.

The big knife/saw is a great part of this one. Do they keep such cutlery available for just such occasions?

Be sure to visit Neatorama for more neato items all the time!

Actually I think it looks very tasty. And not just in a comedy let's-eat-the-IoTD way. Gives me a real yen for seafood, if you can possibly excuse the pun.

And the saw really should be another meter or two long to work properly.

Shark doesn't taste very good to me. They shoulda tossed him back for something tastier.

Well those knives & hooks are normal whale fletching tools, so I imagine they normally process whales and not whale sharks. I wonder if they taste similar since they eat basically the same thing.

gag

no thanks!

True that - it's got segments like a grapefruit. Only I don't see any seeds.
