I recently renewed my license I noticed you need a permit to do shore-based shark fishing. So I banged out the online tutorial... That got me wondering what is the best tasting shark in Florida? I've heard they have to be bled and iced quickly if you do take one because they urinate through the skin. What has been your experience?

I wish I could urinate through my skin, it’d save me a bunch of trips to the porch and bathroom.

Makos, but you're most likely not going to catch one from the beach. I have eaten plenty them from time to time years ago but they were nothing extraordinary in my opinion.
I have friends who will eat a occasional bonnet head or a black tip but I have no personal culinary interaction with either.

35 plus years in the seafood business......started out commercial fishing......actually just had mangrove snapper we caught for dinner. Last night it was flounder from the same trip. And tomorrow......crabs caught on the scraps from the mangroves and flounder. Cooked all manner of heads over the years, more than a little sushi. Squid.....octopus....even rays a time or two......and yes....shark of various kinds a couple of times.
Might add too that we cleaned many a vat of sharks over the years for restaurants, one in particular here in NE FL that sold "shark bites"......
Never learned to like the smell of them nor appreciate their taste......even the mako was not worth eating.
Enjoy catching them........and have a rod or two out on the side to catch something more worth eating.
IMHO

I've had black tip on the menu from a restaurant. Wasn't too impressed and would not order it again

Black tip marinated in Catalina Salad dressing and grilled is tolerable. I have heard that bonnet sharks are good based on there diet of shrimp and crabs. But can't say for Sure. Bull shark was bad

Sharks are just wonderful food fare. Y'all need to catch and eat everyone that you can, especially the ones that are taxman size. I'm tired of sharing grouper and snapper with them.

I actually like blacktip but you got to get after them right away after you catch them.

Blacktip is ok at best. Don't try nurse shark yuck I wouldn't eat a shark for all the tea in China. Sharks urinate through their flesh, skin, etc. Yes, people can make them edible with salt and spices. I wouldn't feed prisoners shark, out of pity. |

Blacktip or bonnet, used to fish commercial for shark, yes gut and ice quickly also there is a waste line in clear membrane that runs from the forward stomach cavity back to the anal vent, it's up against the back cartilage.
two cuts downeaach side of the membrane and peel out with finger before icing.

I used to fin sharks by the tens of thousands for good, cash money. It felt even better knowing that we helped the Orientals (and some of you detracting, naysayer ladyboys who will feel the need to excoriate me over it) enjoy their culinary desires.

I'm not a ladyboy and would have to look up what excoriate means, but if I ever ran across you I would buy you a beer and toast you. "Thanks, now you need to get busy again"
