For those that have never caught a shark remember there is only two rules when you catch one. Rule number one: DO NOT put your hand into its mouth. Rule number two: DO NOT put your hand into its mouth.
@@KidsLearnHTML what about @36:00 when the guy says he's surprised it tastes good at all lol, i get what he was saying but right off the bat when he said it, it sounded bad lol
The amount of work put into this video is impressive. Catching the shark and processing it is enough to scare normal people from making this meal. But Vic still had to cook and clean the kitchen after. Kudos to you my guy, it takes a lot of time and effort to make this video. Great job as usual
lol just a normal days fishing. whether you're cleaning a bullshark or a bunch other fish it's all the same. Except shark sucks to eat and it doesn't matter how you do it
Thank you for sharing this unique experience with us. For me it is very inspiring not to catch a bull shark but to share what you have with your family and friends.
It’s awesome to see how acute their senses are. Literally 1 fish starts giving off panic signals and the sharks all come in. One second you don’t see any, the next there’s 5.
So sick. Even on simple things like sliders, the uniqueness, appearance of your food and presentation always looks like it's straight out of a high rated restaurant. Really like how these videos are a full story between the trip and the recipe. Awesome stuff man.
Yea but the only way they cook Shark in the Caribbean is fried sandwiches with tarter and hot sauce on the table and they cath a bunch of Shark. Getting Gourmet with Shark isn't it or they would have jerk and grilled but it's 1 way . FRIED on a bun.
I understand you're North american. God bless America, and I'm sincere saying so, but I think you know it's your national cuisine the mass murderer causing many premature deaths in the US. You're offering more evidence of your nationals' poor taste in food: just forget about any high rated restaurant serving shark meat, wherever locals know anything about food quality, simple as that. Firstly, awareness îs rising, consumption of shark meat dropped since 2011 by an astonishing 80% in China and 44% in Malaysia (WWF data), a "delicacy" like the shark fins presently fetch a miserable $30/kg. on Indian market, down from some $75 a few years ago. Shark meat is rich in dangerous bacteria like salmonella and E. Coli, it has an ammonia-like odor caused by sharks secerning urea through their skin, and since sharks are apex predators there's a high concentration of Mercury in their meat. God forbid, don't even think about the shark fin soup: the fins are not even meat, they're cartilage, imagine eating a cow's ears instead of the steak and you'll have an idea, they have no nutritional value at all and no taste either, apart from that of the chicken broth they're served in. To make things even worse, the shark fin tissue îs known to contain the neurotoxin BMAA (beta-methylamino-L-alanine), which îs produced by cyanobacteria. Consumption of BMAA-contaminated food has been linked to certain forms of neurodegenerative disease in humans, like Alzheimer and Parkinson*. *=BMAA contamination of shark fins certified by Dr. Jeffrey C. Carrier, Professor Emeritus of Biology at Albion College, he was the Biology Dpt.'s Physiologist and taught classes in General Physiology, Pathophysiology, Marine Biology, Medical Endocrinology, and the Biology of Elasmobranch Fishes. I got a proposal for you, let's dump shark meat and let's have a good old double cheeseburger, which in comparison îs a cure-all. Deal?
Good day, I wish I could have been sitting at your table. And watching you on the coast catching this fish. You has so much courage, I would have been scared when you were landing it. Thanks for sharing, as I do hope I get to go fishing for sharks, it is definitely on my bucket list.
@@beybladerkid5489well do we need any meat in the 1st place? But at least we can't take a life as ethical as possible and treat the food we got from it with respect
@saschaberger7201 Yes, we need meat, but getting it from a tecerary predator is very inefficient and can be harmful to our bodies. Which is why normal people don't eat eagles, bears, tigers, sharks, and lions.
Just as a humans life generally doesn't go to waste when a Bull shark gets a hold of us. Those sharks underneath that bridge were all very capable of ending a person in no time flat; those sharks are fast and voracious and at a certain time of year the females will snap at literally ANYTHING that touches the surface of the water. Beautiful fish.....being so deadly makes them beautiful.
Shark is so under appreciated as an eating fish. Here in Sydney Australia I keep several species (Whalers, Mako & Gummy) but we've never tried Bull Shark (yet). Shark is perfect for traditional battered or crumbed deep fried fish and chips. Kids like it because it's not 'fishy' in flavour and it's good for people who don't eat fish because they don't like picking out bones as well as kids and elderly who you don't want to risk choking on a bone. It is also great for curry as it does not flake and fall apart and the cubes stay in one piece. Give it a go - you won't regret it. Great video btw - thank you.
They are like swimming dumpsters with the amount of pollutants they host dude. Highly advise against eating it more than once every few months. Grilled mako steaks (rarely) are about the only shark i eat if any, anymore.
Awesome job explaining why you can harvest. People gotta realize shark populations are different all over the globe, and there's definitely a huge population here. Not shark bite capital of the world for nothing
People fail to understand that a massive part of proper conservation is managing animal populations to maintain a healthy balance between predator and prey species.
I am a new subscriber about 2 to 3 weeks ish let me say you and Ryan always have a good time and the way you cook any dish is amazing from catch to dinner plate makes me want to eat more fish and I am not a big consumer of any fish! Amazing content!
I've never watched a fishing video in my life...somehow this one showed up in my feed. I thought, shark? Sounds interesting. So I watched it. Super interesting!! Video is really well done and professional, and it showed me a whole new world (fishing) that I was completely indifferent to before. I almost want to go buy some fishing gear and start a new hobby, but since I know nothing on the subject and live in central Texas I'll probably hold off and watch a few more videos to see if it's something I could logistically do. I get the sense that your videos aren't geared towards the beginner...ha ha, a beginner landing a shark? No thanks. But all the same I am intrigued and thank you for putting this out for the world to see. Great job.
I lived in the Keys for a few years and fished off that bridge. Never saw a bull shark from a bridge, but plenty of nurse sharks, loggerhead turtles, huge barracuda, spotted eagle rays, and all kinds of colorful tropical fish. Mutton snapper was the best tasting of all the fish I ever ate there, and I ate a lot pf them.
@@oneame22 I don't know what bridge this guy is on, and it was about 14 years ago. If I look off into the distance, it looks long enough to be one of the old Flager bridges off to the side of the Seven Mile Bridge. I'm guessing we're looking south at 0:22 seconds in.
So I love watching catch and cooks as someone who absolutely cannot cook to save my life and loves watching outdoorsy type things like hunting and fishing. I always loved watching the food network too. But I just found your channel and I have never seen someone cook or even catch a shark before. It was an interesting experience and I must say I'm a little jealous cause I wanna try that slider. LOL
I have been in Florida for over 10 years now and I haven't had Shark yet. I did have it years ago at the Banana Boat in West Palm and once in Pittsburgh, PA. My mouth was watering the whole time you were cooking it and your friends were eating it. Thanks for another great video
"they were eating all our fish.." Duh, they're an apex predator who lives in the fucking ocean, mate. Of course they're going to eat... fish. More accurately stated, you're eating all of theirs.
Sharks do not own fish, humans have just as much right to catch fish as sharks do. Sharks don't have some asinine sacred right to kill whatever they want.
@@Mike-xi4zt Sharks natural habitat is ocean, and their primary food source is fish. Humans don't live in the ocean, and don't need to eat fish to survive. Seems pretty obvious, I'm sorry you don't understand that. And on top of everything, humans are raping the oceans of its natural abundance of fish, unbalancing food chains and destroying it. Sharks balance food chains and keep everything in equilibrium. There are so many more reasons why we should leave the fish, sharks included, alone, but I know it probably won't matter to you.
@@Mike-xi4zt sharks don't have huge trawlers that are decimating fish populations to near collapse and leaving behind discarded fishing gear which account for 80% of the microplastics in the ocean. so I get your point, but we are fucking assholes and they just hunt to eat. "don't have some asinine sacred right to kill whatever they want." neither do humans but we sure think we do.
@@spherejester large schools of sharks are no different than trawler. Dolphins and sharks can eliminate giant balls of fish. Nothing left but scales fluttering to the bottom of the ocean. Humans are not eating shark's fish. Sharks do own the fish in the ocean. Humans are appex predators and have just as right to eat fish as a shark does.
What I would give to catch a shark with you guys!! I have tried my butt off every year and nothing ! I caught one shark my entire life and it was around 4 foot, lemon shark and the captain wouldn’t let me have on board which I understand so he let me drive the boat back in for awhile at least haha !! Awesome video
Nice video, really great job at explaining. Reminds me of the first time I had Gator bites. Didn't know what to expect until I took the first bite, taste just like chicken.
Watching your catch clean and cook videos makes me so hungry. I'm from Indiana so I'm so jealous of you guys and the amazing things you get get to catch and eat. Hopefully some day I'll get to try shark 🦈
Wow never thought shark meat was that white, definitely makes me want to try it now! This was such a great video Vic. Dennis is on point! Glad yall had a great time down in the keys, what a catch. Keep up the hard work Vic, can't wait to see what you bring to the table next. 🤙🏼
@Liam m there are rules and regulations to maintain the species here in Florida, and it is legal to harvest. If you're feeding your family and respecting the rules, there is no harm in doing this. It's definitely not for everyone!
What you have to do is go fishing on the coast and get you a tiny catfish …cut all of the whiskers and spurs off of it make it look like a mullet …I’m talking one that’s less than 6 inches long…put a big eagle claw hook so it’s beck and send it out set your drag really light I catch black tips all the time that are within 3 to 4 foot and they make some great steaks on the grill… very good eating if you know how to cook them apparently he does…… Kudos to this video great show
@@chriscornelius9260 I'll have to give that a try! Thanks for the tip! Heard a few people saying they use catfish for bait. I'll give it a go and post a video when it happens!
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for all the care and love you put into your channel. I'm not really even a fisherman and I've become hooked on watching your videos!
My favorite video yet. Loved seeing those big bull sharks and the goliath grouper going after fish. Both are apex preditors. Your food is always on point. Thanx for the content.
Great video. It’s great to see people try new and different protein sources. It is very important to diversify as much as we can and eat as much locally sourced food items as possible. And it doesn’t get closer to home then pulling it out of the ocean yourself. Also the cooking was excellent. Great technique and flavors equals great food. Simple as that. Kudos guys!!🎉
Most encouraging thing I can tell you is enjoy your new "protein source", for the part that îs still lawful. In 2022, US federal Gov. implemented a ban on the trade of shark fins, there are 19 species of Atlantic shark that US commercial fishermen cannot possess or retain in any form, and 10 shark species which are fully protected. Consumption of shark meat's been plunging for quite sometime now in crucial markets like China (-80%), Malaysia (-44%) and India. Shark meat îs rich in dangerous bacteria like salmonella and E. Coli, it has an ammonia-like odor caused by sharks secerning urea through their skin and, since sharks are apex predators, there's a high concentration of Mercury in their meat. As for the fin, it's not meat , it's cartilage without any nutritional value, and for having any taste it depends upon the chicken broth it's served with. Imagine eating a cow's ears instead of the steak...bewitching idea, isn't it? By the way, on the other side of the Atlantic things look gloomy too, for Shark meat gourmands, in the UK the Shark fins Act passed into law last june, banning import/export of detached shark fins, including all products containing shark fins such as tinned shark fin soup. Awareness îs rising.
That was really cool to hear every ones thought. It would be good to keep track of what part of the fish was from where next time. And how each part taste and it's texture. Fun video. Thanks Dexter, for bringing this to us.
The first video of you catching the other shark, with Chris on deck with you, is the first video I saw of you. I loved it. Watching you or anyone really get a shark in is so exciting, yet I have a respectful love for them. A video with the title about large lobsters popped up and as I watched a few of hers, I was like--hey that's the dude from the other videos lol then I quickly realized y'all are engaged and I just love watching the whole family now everyday. I watched the shrimp festivities last night and I know there are so many to catch up on. Let Brooke know too! Thanks for sharing y'alls adventures with us and teaching the whole way through! If I ever make it Florida I am going to have to find y'all to meet you in person! All of you!
Watched this from the UK having previously swam around those bridge inlets while on holiday in the Keys many years ago😳 Great explanation on how to prepare such a massive fish👍 Loved the whole video
I saw someone shared your post awhile ago that you were looking to hire someone to shoot video and midway through this I was like ….”he must’ve found someone cause this went up a notch” lol. Awesome video and good job to the new guy Dennis!
this was a really neat video. I love watching you pull in the shark but I absolutely love watching everyones reaction to eating it. really cool. would you be willing to take out tourists for these events? I mean fishing for sharks and filleting and cooking them?
While I personally won't eat shark, your catch was legal, you were humane and the shark did not go to waste. Overall a good episode, and the 1st one I've seen from your channel.
While it does look good to eat, It has to do with their conservation status. They're near threatened, or vulnerable, depending on which website is checked. I don't live anywhere near the ocean so I also don't know how dense their population is either. As I said in my original comment, the catch and cook was legal, humane and nothing went to waste; so I'm not going to push my personal belief on the fisherman. In fact, if I ever go to Florida again, I might try Bull Shark if it's on the menu. :)
There is not shortage of sharks in south florida...everywhere they are, way more than 20 30 year ago.....cant hardly fish now, cause they eat everything u try and catch. Conservation on bulls is not.needed at allllllll
I'm Originally from Miami but grow up in palm beach county FL and pompano beach and Bradenton Florida but I remember when I first came to Bradenton Florida in 2002 I remember seeing this legendary fish when I was looking for horse shoe crabs it looked like a small sword fish I think it probably was a needle fish but it had a high lighter green head and a beautiful blue color my favorite color I never seen those same two fishes again they was swimming side by side🤩they was so cool♥️
@@dcgo44r Yeah that's true, I've seen a couple huge hammers in the summer though. No drastic incidents, but I have seen a fellow kayak angler get slapped by a bulls tail after it took a pass at what he was reeling in! Not to mention, if you hook up on one of those bulls they can tow you like you don't even exist in a yak. So watch out for pylons haha.
As a fisherman, I feel your pain about the sharks stealing your catches, but as a Shark enthusiast, this really crushed my heart. I've swam with sharks, I've played with sharks. A shark is literally nothing more than the wolf/dogs of the ocean. I can't stand it when people kill them. But I guess this one shark isn't bad since yall did it for a good cause. REVENGE FOR STEALING YOUR FISH LOL
I added to your channel because you are keeping the true meaning of fishing alive for the original old fishermen who did not fish for sports but for survival to catch fish to feed their Family, friends, and community people who like eating fish who did not have food to eat So there ain't to many people in the world 🌎 keeping the true meaning of survival and appreciating the gift of life 🎁 that was given to all just to live off of by sharing it and enjoying it together as 1 creation and that's showing appreciation to our Creator who gave it to all and allowed all of us to be apart of a beautiful creation, and that's some good cooking and fishing survival skills you have and it makes me hungry 😂👍🐟🌊🎣
Absolutely awesome. To say I’m jealous would be an understatement! I’m coming to Florida in a few months so hopefully make a nice video when I’m there. Top video 🎣
I take certain fish for the table both fresh water and sea fish but if they were endangered I wouldn't. It actually seems quite sensible to take some for the table because a shark 🦈 that size would have mated several times and those bullsharks get big plus survive in fresh water so thining the population out is probably helpful to other fish species targeted by bullsharks. Anyway cool video, how do you dispatch your fish for the table? I use a method I can't remember the name but it's a knife straight into the side of the head about 1 inch behind the eye and it kills them instantly, I hate any creatures suffering, anyway it was an Asian sounding name for the method of dispatch.
Ike Jime (spike to brain to dispatch), Shinkei Jime (wire through the spinal canal to stop signals to muscles), then bleed --- steps 2 and 3 are to guarantee the absolute best meat in any fish.
This past AprilI took deep sea ground fishing trip out of Kennebunkport, ME. A woman onboard was lucky enough to boat a seven foot, 230 pound Porbeagle shark, which the crew immediately bled out, gutted, and iced. She was also nice enough to send everyone home with a nice big chunk. Unlike all of the stuff that you did and put onto your Bull shark meat, I simply sprinkled the steaks with sea salt, a combination of ground peppercorns, and pan grilled them in some butter. I was simply amazed by the flavor!!!! Everyone had said that shark tastes like Swordfish.... this Porbeagle shark was so moist, and tender, and favorable!!!! Soooo.... shark... immediately and properly taken care of.... is outstanding!!! p.s.... I have thrown away "fresh" store bought shark which, once unwrapped, smelled worse than a nursing home.
I just hate how they didn't kill ANY of them quickly. You could see all the fish flopping around. That's the only bad thing in this video. Why is killing a non-threatened shark bad, but fishing is okay? Do you not eat any meat/fish whatsoever?
I get it, but also this shark would easily and happily rip you to pieces out of nowhere. They aren’t dogs they’re just brilliant killing machines. This time we won.
i hate that sharks eat humans and seals but this is just pure agony to watch. this magnificent creature being put through this. we are a part of the food chain, but we have brains that go beyond this...we know we do not need to eat a shark or whale blubber, but our greed makes us. we are not Inuits survivng in the frozen north. this is wrong.
thank you, at least some people understand. Did you know that the bull shark is actually classified as vulnerable species by the IUCN red list! This killing and unnecessarily long torture at the beach is just a fragile ego in my opinion..
Yeah, they are Americans, they could have just shot in the head quickly if they were going to kill it. No one wants to know they are going to die before they die. Poor Shark. @@sophielouise5966
god if you don’t like it don’t watch it and keep your lecture to yourself. ALSO. The shark population of Florida is very well-regulated and that whole ‘red list’ thing is worldwide
Heck brother I've already eaten tonight, but to hear all your raves at the table on it I'd love to taste it. My aunt and uncle use to shark fish, and I think I've had shark one time from them. It was awesome as well, yours just really presented well. If you know anything about cooking and I do I've got a degree in culinary arts myself. If you can visually eat it first and your mouth waters from that it's going to be fantastic! Kudos for you new recipe!
So jealous. Once bought a portion of shark meat (probably a dogfish) and when I cooked it, I just couldn't eat it. The taste of ammonia was terrible. Maybe it was just the fishmonger / supplier didn't know to immediately bleed them out / gut them. The serving suggestions in this vid looked mindblowing. With normal white fish, I do like to fry it and serve it as a slider with either cheese and pickles (/ tarter sauce) or cheese, sliced chili and ketchup. And I do love teriyaki (lived six years in Japan, so I guess I should). I think I need to visit the local chippy where they do advertise rock salmon (a type of shark) and give it a taste.
you took revevenge because the shark ate its own prey on its own territory? most moronic statement ive ever seen. most shark species are endangered and the bull shark is considered near threatened, idk how or why you get permission to hunt them when they're near threatened
Any years ago we caught two unexpected dogfishes in Norway. It's a small species of sharks, but awesome animals. Their muscular power, theyr skin and this horrible cold eyes ... But we had no idea how processing them correctly to remove this ammioniac stink, soaking all into the house. I felt bad for wasting this amazing creatures, but we don't know better. Congreats and many thanks for your recipe!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! Over the years we've caught many sharks, cleaned & processed the meat to make shark hash. When done correctly, the meat is flakey like tuna & favoured to taste spicy. We've never tried your style of cooking shark. Looks good though!
