ITS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES
first off your wrong as endangered species here. you are allowed to catch,and consume any leapord shark over 4' here. and their is a very healthy population! now the market for commercial fishing is very popular but is now regulated cause it was out of control before any rules were put in place! i did speak with a fish and game officer and he said the only catch was its illegal to transport any native fish live here and said dont do again witch i havent. but i do go out and catch me some tasty shark for a nice bbq when i got time.
as for the false demands on the lfs i buy from the wholesale transshippers. i cherry pic. my few rtc out of about 200 that come in each week.
as for recipe i use butter, onion, garlic and lemon. on the bbq then serverd over rice! amazing.
