Shark!! Aaaaaah!

Last Friday night I ate shark for dinner, believe it or not....
My cousin who lives in Alaska caught a shark fishing this summer. I don't remember exactly how long, but approximately 7 ft. or so. He had the coolest pictures too! I wish I could post some on my blog. Anyway, he came down to visit for my Grandma's 90th birthday party and brought some shark meat with him. I thought it was pretty tasty, almost like pork (the consistency), but a little fishy. I'd eat it again though.....

I've eaten many things (frog legs, snails, octopus, baby squid, baby eels, chicken heart, hair-covered meat, pig skin, oysters, and cactus to name just a few...), but shark wasn't one of them. I didn't even know you could eat shark!

So we had a shark/halibut dinner Friday night and then the next day a rockin' party to celebrate my Grandma's 90th birthday! Amazing! She is such a great lady and a great example to me of how to live life to the fullest. The whole extended family, including my parents from AZ, came to celebrate and have a good time together. Happy Birthday Grandma!
