    So this is the species of shark that's toxic for humans to eat unless they bury it in the ground and then hang it to dry for 5 months. I do not condone the killing of sharks, especially a versatile eater like the Greenland Shark who helps clean up the ocean, but I have always been slightly curious to try this weird dish they make of them.

      I always wonder about the absolute privation that must have been behind the research and development of that bury/hang procedure. imagine the trial and error

      dad caught one of these fucking sharks again in his open-top rowboat in some of the most insanely dangerous waters in the world so we're fucking going to figure out how to fucking eat it

        if the other option is literally starving to death i imagine people will be pretty willing to try to figure it out
