Paul1Perth Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Flake it was always known as in WA. Do they still have it on the menu in chippies? I can't say I recall it in recent times but seldom frequent anyway. They just have shark at our local chippy. Don't try and disguise what your actually getting, which is good. Tastes great too.

Incata Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Can you eat them?........just asking as I haven't had my tea yet and I'm hungry. Yes, you can get Shark Soup in most Chinese restaurants. Seared shark is also a beautiful fish (served with either a garlic or lemon sauce).

Incata Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I was having an interesting conversation with my husband about this a couple of nights ago. We were talking about the information that was published recently about the sharks and their migration routes - particularly the ones involving South Africa. My husband then asked why anyone was surprised that the Great Whites are attacking people here, when in South Africa (on their migratory route), one of the big scuba diving activities, is to get in a cage and feed the great whites to get them as close to the cages (and people) as possible. Ergo, the sharks associate people with food and getting fed. Then they swim over to WA and see more people in the water. Why would anybody be surprised when they go for the people? On the other side of the water people mean food, why would it not do here? It was interesting as I had never thought of that before, and yet clearly remember seeing lots of adverts for diving with sharks, going for a dip in a shark cage in South Africa. To attract the sharks, they throw lots of bait in the water for them to eat. Has this occurred to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some thought that the tags they use on sharks, which ping off every 15 seconds or so, might be alerting their natural pray that they are around, so they are hungrier.
