    I would try it.  

    They say it smells heavily of ammonia.  High ammonia foods are supposed to detox people of some poisonings.  I bet the people who eat it are very healthy because of doing so.  I'm glad they're keeping this tradition.

    I only tried (raw) shark once.  It was not this kind, nor fermented.  I was quite the opposite of impressed to say the least.  I swore I'd never try it again.  Then after learning of fermented shark, I think I will try it may fermented next time.  I bet it will have much better effect.

I love the taste of raw shark, it's my favourite raw seafood apart from raw scallops. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get hold of, and somewhat unethical, soi feel guilty buying it.

I only just watched a program on one of the BBC's; they got to talk about shark meat and that raw shark meat was toxic for humans! They said it needed to dry for many months (ferment) to make it fit for humans. The person (from the BBC) ate some for the first time and said it stank

It's cold water shark meat that has so much ammonia that it's toxic.  Regular warmer water shark meat is not toxic.

It's real delicacy

    Yes, that was the worst park.  I smelled something like Pinesol from it for days afterward.

Reminds me of the chlorine cleanse a person did to detox themselves and smelled of chlorine for days or how people smell of garlic for days.

The same with ammonia where people drink urine and smell of ammonia or urine (ammonia is in urine) for days.

Looks like high meat with simply another attribute to it to me. Though if I did it i'd let the shark simply hang for a few days.  But a nice delicacy none the less.


But is there so much ammonia i'd die? Scary...
