Shark is good eats if it's done right.
Caught a Nurse Shark in Biscayne Bay,,,,Had some friend thresher shark bites once that were phenomenal. Had sand shark once too, grilled steaks. Mighty good eating too.
My biggest catch out fishing was about 6 ft long sand shark. Our headboat didn't have a shark license, or he'd be mounted on my wall, but alas had to throw him back. I also caught a nice big bull mahi, a nice red grouper, and a decent red snapper that day, in addition to a few b-liners and triggers. We ate really good that night, and then I passed out early because between the sun and heat on the water and the fish fights, I was exhausted!
The quicker you get it cleaned the better it taste. Immediately is the key word here. Sharks urinate through their skin.https://www.reelpursuits.com/can-you-eat-shark/
When my oldest daughter graduated from high school, she and I took an inshore trip with a guide. She caught a shark, don't remember what kind but it was probably 5 or so ft long. Of course she wanted to keep it, and it was legal according to guide so we kept it. He said then that it needed cleaning immediately or the meat wouldn't be good. I didn't realize that he meant as soon as possible. He was right. I got home later that day, cleaned it and we tried grilling some steaks. It was inedible.

Makos do not urinate thru their skin. Only shark that doesn’t. They are exceptionally good table fare. Blackened medium rare is amazing. Lots of restaurants serve it as swordfish, but it’s better. The only drawback, and it’s a biggie is the mercury content in it is thru the roof. More than 10 times the amount in a large bluefin tuna.The quicker you get it cleaned the better it taste.
