yeah i heard leopard shark has a bit of a pee taste. i heard thresher was better, and mako was friggin insanely amazing. i guess if you can take the pee smell out of the leo then it would taste much better!

Soaking in milk overnight is a must with some fish, leopard sharks being one of them. Personally I wouldn't eat leopards but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I've eaten leopard shark, its actually quite good. It's like a six gill shark, bleed-gut-skin as quickly as possible. It is a mild meat very similar to thresher shark. I just rarely catch a legal keeper.

I've heard they taste a little like golden retriever.

Lol you dont need to gut it right away. Bleeding sure. Soak it in a lemon brine solution for a few hours then fry it in butter with you favorite seasoning.

I wonder what Soupfin taste like....

Oh, and steaking it is better. Cook the whole steak and the skin will peel off after its cooked.
