Shark Dinner

Tuesday, Jim and Ronalee our neighbors, caught a 100# plus shark. Ronalee caught it but was a bit overwhelmed trying to bring it in so Jim ended up bringing it into the boat. All this on 15# line with a wire leader. Needless to say there was quite a bit of excitement and it was decided we would have a major feast.

Everyone participated from the cleaning of the shark which is no mean trick because of its size and weight. There was a tremendous amount of meat, so we decided to cook it three different ways..... broiling on the grill, deep frying, and smoking. Quite a group was invited to partake from around the campsite and aside from the shark everyone contributed to the potluck dinner.

There was a lot of discussion about the catching of the fish and, of course, some mild libation


Once all the cooking was done we really had quite a feast. Even people taking an evening walk tried some of the shark and it couldn't have tasted any better than it did. We had a great time
