I know the cajuns eat 'em and there's a lot of places that serve
shark.

But are there any fishing (commercial) requirements for catching
shark, and are there only certain species that are acceptable.

I dont' know, that's why I'm asking....

No and it's another species that is over fished. A lot of species are
definned and left to die - don't even make it to the table.

Shark fin soup - big Asian delicacy.

Inshore there are regs. Some sharks can not be fished for, well unless you
are Judy Packard, and one is the Great White. Some sharks are good tasting
and not overfished, and others are never going to be edible. We could catch
Blue Sharks to an excess here, but they always will taste like ammonia.
threshers, seem to be doing OK off SoCal, but the sport fisherman, seem to
catch a lot of the smaller ones. San Francisco bay has 7 gills which are
supposed to be good eats, as well as Smooth Hound (sand Shark), that no one
eats, and you could catch a hundred a day if you were fishing for them. And
Leopard sharks, which are great eating, but have a 36" minimum size limit,
so they get to breed a few times before legal size. Most of the sharks that
are overfished are the open open ones, and that is the sharkfin trade, etc.

I know everything about anything in the San Francisco area. I've visited
there. Therefore, I know more about it than you do.
