They are edible and as I recall, pretty good. I stopped eating sharks quite a while ago and turn them all loose now. I do catch shovelers when I fish for halis or bone fish in SD Bay. They are tough critters and easy to handle and release. I caught a banded guitar fish in south bay a few months ago. I've seen them diving of LJ but that was the first I have caught. Not the most exciting fish out there but I have been fishing So Cal for almost 40 years and catching a fish for the first time is always pretty cool. Mike
