I've eaten shark, when I was much younger and didn't know the environmental impact of shark fishing, and it's nothing special. White meat, large flakes but tough. Gets some marks for scarcity, so 5 out of 10. Moray eel, though? Never. Bring it on! Wanna-B-Fanboy and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
