Deep Fried Shark Bites

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 can beer - I like a dark beer cuz it gives more flavor
2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste2 cups fine yellow corn meal
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons corn starch
Salt & Pepper to taste
vegetable oil or shortening for deep frying
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, beer, mustard, Tabasco, and a dash of salt and peppers. Cut sharkh fillets into bite sized pieces. Place fish in egg mixture, coating well; cover, refrigerate, and let soak for about 1 hour. Mix corn meal and flour in a shallow, wide bowl. Preheat oil in deep fryer to about 370ºF. Remove shark nuggets from mixture and dredge with corn meal & flour mixture. Fry until the nuggets float to the surface and turn golden brown.
Place nuggets on newspaper to drain.
Tiger Sauce makes a great dipping sauce! You can also dip in tartar sauce.

Please check out the excellent documentary Sharkwater. It will change your mind (as it did mine) about buying another shark-related item. Please spread the word about the slaughter of sharks and the danger sharkmeat poses to children and pregnant women (as it is extremely high in mercury). Even if you don’t care about the animal, you owe it to yourself and future generations to protect the sharks. When they get wiped out (and they are being killed at a dangerously high rate), our oxygen supply (and obviously, health) will be messed up, as well. There are plenty of other things for us to eat without threatening our environment and future.
