Would you eat a shark sashimi and nigri?

1. While watching Jaws or Deep Blue Sea.

2. I don’t eat shark in general because it’s overfished and high in mercury. I don’t find it disgusting, just objectively not a good fish to eat.

   If I was in Japan and having an omakase meal and they brought out shark as a course? Yes, I would try it then.

   But if it’s any kind of a la carte option or from a store, no. Plenty of good tasting, sustainable, and low-mercury fish options.

3. Nooooo way too many parasites. Cooked yes.

4. While sure, it’s not super common, and edibility depends on the species, but I have had shark sashimi and it was delicious.

   There are hundreds of different species of shark and not all of them are considered good eating though. Smaller species like dogfish seem to be most common for raw consumption.

5. Based purely on ethics, no I probably wouldn’t. Unless I was drunk on sake and it was complimentary. I wouldn’t pay money to support it.

6. After playing Dave the Diver, I’d try some exotic cuts of sashimi.

7. Sharks retain urea in their muscles. It is part of how they osmoregulate. In other words, they pee through their skin. I find that unappetizing, so no, I would not.

8. Yeah, I would try

9. There’s a 85% chance that the sushi you order isn’t in fact the species you’re ordering. 78% of tested fish samples purported to be yellowtail were false, 81% of tuna was false, 92% of scallops were fish paste pattys

10. Yes, and horse as well

11. Idk shark is a pretty tough meat when grilled. It tastes like chicken.

12. Its unethical so no. Same goes for whale. I did try it but i have always felt guilty about it. Say no to unethical meats and practices no matter how delicious.

13. If I can take on fugu sashimi, I think I can take on shark sashimi too

14. I wouldn’t eat shark period. Cooked or otherwise.

15. To much heavy metals. I’ve eaten salmon shark. It tastes like Fukushima

16. Absotutely.

17. Yep

18. If it’s your treat, sure

19. Irrc dog fish arn’t sharks

20. Hell yeah I would

21. No

22. Yes, yes and some more yes

23. Nope. “You don’t eat me. I don’t eat you”

24. I’ll try anything, once.

25. Yes i would. I wouldn’t fly a thousand miles *just* to try it but yeah.

26. No

27. Yes.

28. I would try it once. I don’t believe it’s ethically fished so I doubt I would seek it out on the regular.

29. Would I? We call that fish a Rig – dogshark- and we eat it all the time in New Zealand

30. Never. And any place that serves shark should be shut down.

31. I made a promise to Steve Irwin I would never eat one when I was 6 years old and I won’t let him down now.

32. Sharkshimi

33. I’m willing to try anything, though off hand I imagine it’s tough and wouldn’t make for good sushi
