The Icelandic dish of hákarl (fermented shark) is often made using Greenland shark.
- snurfer 6y ago... which doesn't taste nearly as bad as you've heard and is produced in limited quantities only as result of the few bycatch sharks accidentally netted each year.

- guerrilla 6y agosurströmming smells much worse than it actually tastes... keep it outdoors and you'll live just fine.
- pvaldes 6y agoI can't stand the ammonia flavor of Chondrichthyes, plus the bioaccumulation of heavy metals, mercury, ciguatoxins, the toxic amounts of vitamin A in liver... There are many excellent seafood but this is dog-food grade at best, not decent food for humans unless you haven't anything else. Cooking with urine would be healthier providing the same flavor without the extra-poisons. Pretty disgusting stuff.
