Just wondering if shark is kosher? I ate it a while back (maybe a year ago) and it tasted kind of like a steak. It doesn't have scales so i'm not sure if it would qualify as kosher. It was nurse shark to be exact. Just wondering.
Most sharks are not kosher, if not all. A fish needs to have bones to be kosher, shark is all cartilage.
That pig. How evil.
It's a good idea not to eat shark if you can help it, even if they were kosher, especially shark fin, because many sharks are becoming endangered or threatened due to trade for their meat.

Yes have heard that as well, watched a documentary on my XBOX 360 about sharks in HD, was saying like 8 million sharks killed for every 1 human. I know some species are becoming more rare due to overfishing, hammerheads I believe are now listed as one of the most rare as well as river sharks. The most aggressive sharks here in Florida are bull sharks, haven't eaten them before though. I have never had sharkfin soup, sounds nasty, I guess it's a delicacy in some Asian countries, and then in Japan, I guess some people eat Jellyfish.

I have not played video games in many years though as I am way too busy. I remeber I used to play xbox live even back then hehe.
are you orthodox? If so (and if not) are you bothered that you ate it?I love shark fin soup at the local Chinese restaurants--real Chinese food right there. I believe my grandfather used to eat shark cartilage to help with benign tumors he had, as shark cartilage is supposed to help with that.
