Mako Shark with Anchovy and Caper Sauce

1/4 cup finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped garlic
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup imported sweet paprika
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/3 cups olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 mako shark or swordfish steaks (about 8 ounces each)
10 anchovy fillets, rinsed and finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 whole cloves
1 can (35 ounces) Italian peeled tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 stick (4 ounces) butter
1/4 cup drained capers
1 small bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley, stemmed and finely chopped

In a large bowl, combine the onions, garlic, bay leaves, paprika,
lemon juice, 1 cup of the olive oil, the cayenne, salt and 1/4
teaspoon of the pepper. Add the shark steaks and set aside to
marinate, turning every 20 minutes, for 1 hour.

Preheat the broiler. In a large nonreactive saucepan, saute the
anchovies in the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over moderate heat
until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, vinegar and cloves.
Reduce heat to low; cook for 5 minutes. Strain; return the sauce
to the pan.

Add the tomatoes, sugar and cinnamon and simmer the sauce over
moderate heat until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time,
stirring until completely melted. Add the capers, parsley and
remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cover to keep the sauce warm.

Remove the shark steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Broil the
steaks about 4 inches from the heat until just opaque throughout,
about 5 minutes on each side. Pour the warm sauce over the fish
and serve.

Suspend skewers over a 13x9 pan lined with foil and spoon marinade
over kabobs. Broil for 4 minutes, then turn and broil for another

Chinese Baked Shark In reply to
Ingredients

3 shark steaks (the younger
-the shark
white cooking wine
onion
green pepper
mushrooms (the more the
-better, but
Hoisin sauce (or whichever
-chinese
various spices

Instructions

1. Make sure the steaks are fresh (frozen shark can be used as a retread
rubber). Marinate them in a few spices and 3-4 tablespoons of wine per
steak for about 2 hours.

2. Saute your veggies with some butter and wine and add the chinese sauce.
Bring to a simmer and add about a cup of wine and then turn the heat down
to low.

3. Now, butter the bottom of your baking dish, add some fresh veggies to
the bottom of the dish if you want (I make a different variation of this
each time I cook it). Put the steaks in and then pour the sauce on top.
Bake at 180 oC for about 20 minutes or until they're white throughout.
Don't overcook because the can get rubbery.

Author's Notes:
My father does alot of off shore deep sea fishing and usually has alot of
small sharks in the freezer that usually get dumped on me since I've found
some rather creative things to do with good shark steaks (besides stir
fry). I don't know if chinese food is baked usually but this tastes good
anyway

I usually serve them with some stir fry vegetables and rice. You can also
make it an Italian dish by substituting tomato sauce for the hoisin sauce.

water. With a cleaver or sharp knife, cut away and discard the tough stems
of the mmushroomsand shred the caps by placing them, one at a time, flat on
a chopping boards, then cutting each of the caps into paper-thin slices
horizontally. Cut the slices into the thinnest possible strips.

3. Bone, skin and shred the chicken breast in the following fashion: Lay
the whole chicken breast on its side on a chopping board. Holding the
breast firmly in place with your hand, cut it lengthwise through the skin,
along the curved breastbone, with a cleaver of sharp knife. Carefully cut
all the meat from the bones on one side of the breastbone. Then grasp the
meat in one hand and pull it off the bones and away from the skin - using
the cleaver to free the meat if necessary. Turn the breast over and repeat
on the other side. Remove each tube-shaped fillet from the boned breast
meat, and pull out and discard the white threadlike membranes. Lay the
breast meat and fillets flat and cut them horizontally into paper-thin
slices.Then cut the slices into shreds about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long and 1/8
inch wide.

add it to the soup. Cook, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens
slightly. To serve. pour the soup into a tureen or individual soup bowls
