We got into a bunch of 3' sand sharks one day and I took the big

We cut it up like scallops, breaded it and dropped it in the fryer.
You would not be tricked that it was really a scallop (if you ever had
one) but it was a tasty chunk of fish.
I put out a tray of them at a fish fry and they went real fast.

Up here a lot of folks bleed them as soon as they catch them, then cut
the huge blood line out of their back and toss it. Can come to 15% of
the meat, it's a huge blood line, softer texture than meat... I don't
like it much, I cut it out too unless I am baking the fish.

PETA alert Don't read this shark huggers!

On the ones we had I noticed if they were across the gunnel, head in
the boat, you could see a big muscle right down the length.
I took a sharp knife and just cut out this strip on both sides and
tossed them back. I laid the strip on the cutting board and skinned
it.
You ended up with a piece of meat that looked like a pork tenderloin.

Nobody really thought it would be worth eating but they were great,

Sounds like a good way to feed those other bottom feeders.
