We ATE a Leopard Shark! Catch Clean Cook

This was one of the coolest things I've got to experience. We were sight fishing Leopard Sharks on Catalina Island, right from the beach! We harvested one leopard shark for dinner, as these sharks are very plentiful and the state of California allows you to keep one leopard shark per person per day. We took it back to our campsite and made fried and grilled leopard shark, sandwiches.

I grew up in San Leandro California, in the middle of the Bay Area. My dad would take me fishing for Leopard Sharks all of the time. The meat is amazing and they always put up an impressive fight, even the little ones. My dad has been gone for years now and watching you explain the cleaning process just took me back to a wonderful time in my life. I cannot thank you enough for that precious gift.

[@WopJr]

this was touching

[@koogle612]

Caught my 1st 1 with cut chunks of mackerel in wgich I buried a circle hook. They are a beautiful fish. I hadnt properly cleaned & bled it quickly enough though. Even so the texture was memorable. Luscious like a cross btw lobster & swordfish. Next time I'll clean immediately. Im told they release a scent when panicked that dfives others away. Anyone know if this is true? Lastly I grilled mine w lemon onion & garlic.

[@quantum-entanglementinmagn6728]

Hi, The best way to keep the taste of urine is to remove quickly the vein in the back cartilage as the urine tack is that very vein. In bigger sharks it is that same and is more obvious to see the vein. To get to the vein you must cut completely the shark. Takee the head off first, then proceed to the stomach gutting. It then is clear to see the back cartilage vein. to remove the vein it can come out complete whole in some species, but do not count on it happening all the time. gut the shark by the water and de-vein it so you can use the sea water to clean it afterward. DO NOT wait until you get home, it then will taste like urine. good luck, Lazaro

[@BDG27482]

Those drone shots are all time! Thanks for giving our unique fishery a try 💪🏻

I was awestruck from the first shot, beautiful location! When I heard where it was I was surprised because I thought it looked like Greek islands or something.

Thank you Vic for doing a episode with outdoor chef life. When i found out you were going to Alaska i was stoked because I knew outdoor chef life was there. Been watching you both for a while and for you guys to collab was more dope to me than you will both will ever know. Can’t wait for that to drop. Thank you. You and brook keep up the great work. Aloha 🤙🏾

No way! He made a trip all the way to Catalina to shark fish and camp! Impressive. Ive fished that evil island with the mini foxes and bison. This is one of my favorite epsiodes. Id love to see more camping and fishing adventures.

[@notyouraveragejoe855]

You're on the California coast again? The fact you could sight those sharks from shore and hook up during the day was what made this video so interesting to watch. Love the pattern on Leopard sharks and very cool to release in such calm, crystal clear shallows.

[@garywturner]

My favorite Landshark video yet! That was AWESOME! Great photography and drone work. Yall make amazing videos. Catalina is on my Bucket list. I think our bucket lists my have a lot in common!

[@HyperFaultic]

You gotta go get a thresher now. Been slaying em on the piers in SoCal for a while. The rigs are weird and I think would make a good video to do over the summer, since the bite is almost dead.

Growing up my father would take my brother and I fishing for Leopard Shark in Oxnard Ca, extremely close to Catalina Island. Makes great ceviche.

[@comeatmebro3229]

Leopard shark is in the Houndshark family and generally most of the sharks in the Houndshark family have a more flakey texture then requiem sharks (Blacktip, Whaler ect) here in Australia we have a shark that we call a gummy shark (because it doesn't have sharp teeth) and those are also a houndshark and we commonly refer to them as flake when eating them. School shark is another very nice flakey shark.

[@rslwannabe9475]

For some reason i can understand eating fish, but if somebody kills a shark, whale sea turtle, or a nonfish fish then you best be running if you see me 0-0

[@comeatmebro3229]

@@rslwannabe9475 there is nothing wrong with eating shark, harvesting fins and returning the shark dead to the water is disgusting but harvesting a whole shark for food is fine, if it wasn't fine there wouldn't be size and bag limits. 2 combined gummy/school shark per person per day and one bronze whaler per person per day. its well within the law

[@munk4hire]

when you are grilling fish, a nice trick you can use to prevent it from sticking is to rub the surface of the grill with some raw onion first (before you turn on the grill)

Shark.. I definitely want to try it once. I envy you. The barbecue is also delicious.

[@longrider42]

I used to fish for sharks from the piers at Newport and Laguna, back in 84. Had to go all the way down to Oceanside to catch a ray, but it was tasty. I was using 40 pound test on a Newell P454-F reel on a 8 foot casting rod, good times. I always used steel leader, wish we'd had circle hooks back then. Any ways looks like you guys had fun, stay safe and tight lines. P.S. Way back when, carpenters in or around coastal area's, would catch sharks to use the skin as Sand paper,, so there you go :)

[@ThydaCookingTV]

That’s great

[@gentrynewsom2080]

Same thing at Carrillo beach CA..the estuary is full of them at spawning time .

You're right near my stomping grounds in OC California. Leopard sharks are among the cooler species we target out here. And California halibut are indeed flounder or some call them fluke. I learned from watching John Skinner's videos that they're almost indistinguishable as separate species behavior-wise.

[@tylerveal9814]

Dude halibut and flounder are way different. You obviously don’t fish much

[@csmats5374]

@@tylerveal9814 I've watched Skinner's videos and those fluke following his jigs, swimbaits, or whatever. I've fished CA halibut and seen them follow the exact same way right up to shore. I've felt them hit tentatively and then hit hard ten feet later, just like in Skinner's videos. You're the one who obviously doesn't know what you're talking about.

[@tylerveal9814]

@@csmats5374 bud a big fluke is like barely 10 pounds you can’t even compare that to a halibut.

[@csmats5374]

@@tylerveal9814 Are you mistaking Alaskan halibut (true halibut) with California halibut? The former is huge -- "barn doors", hundreds of lbs. The latter is relatively small -- 10 lbs is a pretty big one, although they do get bigger, up to like 50 lbs. Still, not true Alaskan halibut.
