Megalodon

      The Megalodon, or Carcharodon megalodon, is an ancient shark that lived about 5 - 1.6 million years ago. No Megalodon has ever been seen, but their teeth have been found. Based on the size of the Megalodon teeth that have been found it is estimated that their size was around 40 feet long. Megalodon teeth resemble the teeth of Great White Sharks, except Megalodon teeth are three times as big (Extinct Sharks). Others believe that Megalodon Sharks were about 70 feet long and weighed 50 to 100 tons (Strauss).
     If Megalodon Sharks were alive today they would be one of the toughest fish to catch. You would need a boat that was at least 100 feet long, which is very rare. There is no fishing pole in the world today that would withstand the weight and power of a Megalodon. If you were going to go Megalodon fishing you would have to invent your own fishing pole that was made of a metal or material that would be impossible to break. Instead of fishing line you would need a metal chain or other strong materials. 
     It is not known why Megaladon Sharks became extinct but their are many idea as to why. Diminishing food supply could be one reason why Megalodons became extinct. Due to their large size it is estimated that a Megalodon would have to eat about one hundred pounds of food a day to stay healthy. Climate change is also a hypothesis for the extinction of the Megalodon. The climate change was causing changes in the ocean, the habitat of the Megalodon, and it is thought that the Megalodon was not able to adapt(Strauss). 
     Not much is known about the quality of the meat of Megalodon Sharks. If you were to catch a Megalodon and their meat was edible it is likely you would be able to feed a entire village for a year.

Hammerhead Shark

     The Hammerhead Shark, also known as Sphyrna mokarran, get its name because of the shape of its head. The head splits from the center and sticks out farther than the actual body forming a hammer shape. Average Hammerhead Sharks is about eleven and a half feet long and weighs almost 500 pounds. One of the largest Hammerhead Sharks recorded was twenty feet long and weighed more than 1,000 pounds (Hammerhead Shark). 
     There are three techniques you can use when fishing for Hammerhead Shark. First you can troll with a large fresh dead bait fish. Second you can still fish. Still fishing means you anchor your boat and fish in one spot. The best way to still fish is by chumming the water and throwing out a oversize live bait fish as bait. The third way is a mixture between trolling and still fishing called drifting. You are not being still because you moving slowly and you are not trolling because your motor is not on, you just let the currents move you (Hammerhead Shark Characteristics). 
     Hammerhead Sharks tend to be found off coastlines in warm waters. Tropical and sub tropical waters around the world play host to Hammerhead Sharks throughout the year. During the hot months of the summer Hammerhead sharks migrate into cooler waters for more comfortability. Not all Hammerheads are easy to find, many Hammerhead Sharks live more than 250 feet below the surface of the water (Sharks-world.com). 
     Though Hammerhead Shark are known for their head, which is shaped like a hammer, the meat on their bodies is the best reason to keep one. Here is a recipe courtesy of "Cooks.com"


Ingredients     
1 1/2 lbs. hammerhead shark
1/3 c. lime juice
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp. parsley
1/4 c. beer
1/2 tsp. cumin
Salt and pepper
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salsa and Avocado to garnish

Lemon Shark

     Negaprion brevirostris, or Lemon Shark, are a common shark on the southeast coast of the United States. Lemon Sharks have a deep yellow color which is how they obtained their name. Lemon Sharks bellies of a white color. The average Lemon Shark is eight to ten feet long (Lemon Shark). The current world record for Lemon Shark is 370 pounds and was twelve feet long (Dawsey). 
     When fishing for Lemon Shark you will need a large fishing rod with strong line. As you would with all other sharks you should chum the water before you fish. The best bait to use is a small baitfish that is bleeding. When you throw the bait into the water you should not let the bait sink to the bottom. Keep your bait near the surface of the water for your best chance at catching a Lemon Shark (Lemon Shark). 
     Finding a Lemon Shark can be a very tough job. Lemon Sharks are known to be loners or travel in very small groups. Lemon Shark prefer warm coastal waters to cool waters. When fishing for Lemon Shark you should use your eyes. Lemon Shark stay in clear water and swim near the top. You should spot your shark before you try and catch it (Lemon Shark Fishing). 
    Most people do not fish for Lemon Shark because they wish to eat them. Lemon Shark behave very well in captivity and therefore scientists use them for tests. This does not mean that Lemon Sharks cannot be eaten though. Here is a recipe courtesy of "Cooks.com"


Ingredients

2 lb. lemon shark steaks
1/2 c. teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. butter

Black Tip Shark

     Black Tip Shark, or Carcharhinus limbatus, get their name because each one of their fins has a tip that is darker than the rest of their body. On each side of the Black Tip their is a distinctive white stripe. The average size of a Black Tip is almost five feet long and weighs about 40 pounds. The largest ever reported Black Tip was eight and a half feet long (Carcharinus limbatus). 
     When fishing for Black Tip Shark, the best bait to use is cut bait or live bait. If using cut bait, cut your fish in half and throw it into the water. If using live bait, hook the bait through the mouth, allowing it to swim freely. It is not wise to hold your rod in your hand while fishing for Black Tip. You should place the rod in a secure rod holder after you cast. Also, when you put your rod in a holder you should make sure the drag is loose so the Black Tip does not break the line (Eggersten). 
     When fishing for Black Tip you do not need to travel far in order to find one. Black Tip are mostly found in shore. You can catch Black Tip off a inshore boat or in the surf. While fishing for Black Tip you should try and cast your bait near bottom dwelling structures such as reefs or shipwrecks (Eggersten).
     Black Tip Shark are fished for mainly because of their great meat. Here is a recipe courtesy of "Cooks.com"


Ingredients 

  • 1-1/2 lb. black tip shark steaks
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic, rice or wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. oil
  • 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
  • minced green onions and parsley

Directions

Cut the shark steaks into service-sized pieces.Place them in a glass dish. Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, oil parsley, garlic and black pepper. Pour the marinade over the fish and marinate for half an hour, turning at least once.
Remove the fish (reserving the marinade) and broil 4 to 5 inches
Brush with the marinade before turning.
Serve with minced green onions and parsley.
Accompaniments: Rice and vegetable pilaf, leaf lettuce tossed with parsley-lemon dressing, and French or Italian sourdough bread.
Fish should be cooked only until it flakes easily. Check it often to prevent overcooking, which will not only make it rubbery, it will render it tasteless.

Mako Shark

     Mako Shark, or Isurus oxyrinchus, has a long grey body with a tall dorsal fin. The teeth on Make Shark are long and curved and can be seen while the mouth is shut. The body of a Mako is pure muscle and is designed to hold heat like a coat (Shortfin Mako). The length of an average Mako is 6-8 feet long. The all tackle world record was caught weighing 1221 pounds.
     When fishing for Mako you need to have strong fishing line, and lots of it. First chum the water with fish guts and blood. Then jig your line slowly through the water until you get a bite. Once you have hooked a Mako you must not try and reel it in too quickly. The Mako will try to free itself by swimming away with your line, do not try to stop this. You must let the Mako get tired before you bring it to the boat. If the Mako is not tired before you try and bring it in, you and your crew may be seriously injured (Huds).
     Mako Shark are caught any where from the warm Atlantic waters to the cool Pacific Ocean. The Shortfin Mako are caught more often then Longfin Mako. The reason Shortfin Mako are caught more often is because Shortfin swim closer the shoreline thus making them an easier catch for boaters. If you are targeting Longfin Mako then you will have to travel great distances to land your catch, and after all your travel, there is no guarantee you will even catch a glimpse of a Longfin Mako (Davis).
     Mako Shark is one of the best tasting shark species in the ocean. Here is a recipe courtesy of "cdkitchen"


Ingredients:
6 medium Mako Shark Steaks, rinsed in cold water and patted dry
6 cloves Garlic, crushed
1/2 cup Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
2 teaspoons Fresh Oregano, chopped
2 teaspoons Fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Fresh Dill
Salt - to taste
Black Pepper, freshly ground - to taste



Directions: 
Rub mako steaks all over with garlic - and allow to set; meanwhile, combine lemon juice, oregano, parsley, dill, salt and pepper, brush generously over both sides of steaks and allow fish to absorb flavors while barbecue heats to hot. 

Place fish on grill, brush top with marinade again and grill (5 minutes); turn steaks and brush with marinade and barbecue (4-5 minutes longer), or until fish is opaque through. Serve immediately, when done.

Cero

     Cero, also known as Cero Mackerel, or Scomberomorous regalis, is the smallest member of the Mackerel family. Cero are very similar to Spanish Mackerel, in fact the only difference between the two is the brown stripes on the tail fin of the Cero. The common weight of Cero is around 5 pounds (Fish Identification). The world record Cero was caught in Florida and weighed 17 pounds and 2 ounces (Cero Mackerel). 
     Physical features is not the only thing Cero have in common with Spanish Mackerel. Cero and Spanish are fished for the same way with the same bait. Trolling at high speeds is the best way to catch Cero Mackerel and using spoons is your best choice for bait. Trolling with white lures is also a good way to catch the attention of a Cero. Cero occasionally bite surface swimming plugs and occasionally live bait (GoFISHn). 
     Cero Mackerel are mainly found off Florida coasts and are rarely found anywhere North of Florida. Cero stay in Florida waters year round because they enjoy warm clear waters. Cero are usually found where there are bait fish, if you are fishing and you see a school of bait fish you know that there is most likely Cero in the area. Underwater reefs are also a playground for Cero and you rarely fish a reef without landing a Cero (International Game Fish Association). 
     Cero Mackerel, like the rest of the Mackerel family, is a very tasty fish. Here is a recipe courtesy of "foodnetwork"



Ingredients

  • 2 medium cero mackerel , filleted, skin on
  • 5 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 4 ounces butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 or 2 limes

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and oil the grates with a brush or towel.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the smashed garlic.
Make 3 deep cuts on each side of the fish. Season fillets generously with salt and pepper. Place flesh side-down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip fish over and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from grill and brush with some of the garlic butter(about 2 tablespoons).
Squeeze 1/2 of a lime over each fillet and serve immediately.

Black Sea Bass

     Black Sea Bass, or Stereolepis gigas, are dark brown or blacked colored fish with dark spots all over its body. Black Sea Bass have a very uncommon dorsal fin. Their dorsal fin is one whole fin across the whole back, but it looks as if it is two separate fins. The front of the fin is used as a defense mechanism to spike any predators (Black Sea Bass Photos and Fish Species Information). Black Sea Bass have an average size of one and a half pounds. The world record Black Sea Bass weighed 428 pounds, and it only took the fisherman 57 minutes to catch it (PHOTO: World Record Sea Bass). 
     Black Sea Bass are relatively easy to catch. Black Sea Bass are bottom feeders therefore you will need to fish the bottom of wherever you are fishing. You will need a weight that is small enough so you can feel the fish bite, but big enough to take your bait to the bottom. Lures are not the choice of most fisherman but lures sometimes work. Most fisherman prefer real bait such as shrimp and squid when fishing for Black Sea Bass. All you have to do when fishing for Black Sea Bass is drop your bait into the water and wait for a bite (How to Catch a Black Sea Bass). 
     Choosing the right time of year is one of the most important things to do when fishing for Black Sea Bass. If you are fishing in the North the months of May through August is your best time to fish. If you are farther South, it is best to fish in the months of February through August. As stated before, Black Sea Bass are bottom feeders, and thanks to this they can be located near reefs, piers, and wreckages (How to Catch a Black Sea Bass). 
     If you are lucky enough to catch a Black Sea Bass big enough to cook , their meat is delicious. Here is a recipe courtesy of "SanDiegoRestaraunts.com"



Ingredients

  • 1 lb. black bass filets, cut into four even pieces
  • (to taste) salt and pepper
  • 2 oz. olive oil
  • 4 braised artichokes (see recipe)
  • 1/2 lb. blanched broccolini (see recipe)
  • 1/2 lb. roasted pearl onions (see recipe)
  • 1 Tbsp. parsley, minced
  • 1/4 C. tangerine vinaigrette (see recipe)

Directions

Place enough water in a container to submerge the 4 artichoke hearts. Add the juice of 3 lemons and the lemon shells to the water. The citrus in the water will keep the artichokes from turning brown. 

To trim the artichokes, hold an artichoke with the stem end toward you and pull off the very small bottom leaves. Working your way around the artichoke, bend the lower leaves back until they snap and break naturally, and then pull them off. Continue removing the tougher outer leaves until you reach the tender yellow inner leaves. Set the artichoke aside and repeat with the remaining artichokes. 

Cut off the stems flush with the meaty artichoke bottom. As you work, rub the cut surface with a lemon half to keep the flesh from discoloring. Turn each artichoke on its side and cut off the top two-thirds of the artichoke, from its tips to where the meaty heart begins. Discard the trimmings. The remaining artichoke hearts should be 1 to 1 ½ inch high. 

Hold an artichoke heart in your hand, stem end down. Using a sharp paring knife, trim the sides of the heart all around to remove the tough dark exterior -- this is easiest if you turn the artichoke while keeping the knife held in place. Then turn the artichoke stem side up and, working around the artichoke, trim the bottom of the heart at a 45-degree angle to remove all the dark green exposing the light flesh. Rub all cut portions with lemon. With a melon baller or a sharp spoon, scrape out the fuzzy choke, beginning at the outside and working toward the center of the heart. Give the heart a final check and trim away any remaining rough spots. Drop the heart into the lemon water and repeat with the remaining artichokes. 

Preheat a small saucepot over medium-high heat. Add oil, shallot and garlic and reduce heat to low. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Try not to color shallot and garlic. Add artichokes, wine, and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover. Cook for about 20-30 minutes or until artichokes are fork tender. Season with salt and let artichokes cool in the liquid. When cool enough to touch, quarter the artichokes and reserve in liquid.

Note

Artichokes may be prepared ahead of time; they will keep 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

Cod

     Gadus morhua, or Cod, is a North Atlantic fish. Cod are a silver fish with three dorsal fins that stretch from the top of the back to the tail fin. Their is a barb below the lower jaw of the Cod (Cod). Cod can grow to be huge fish, but the average is only 6 to pounds. One of the biggest Cod ever caught weighed 211 pounds and was caught of the coast of Massachusetts (Jordan et. al.). 
     Cod is a simple and easy fish to catch. When fishing for Cod there is a variety of bait that can be used. Mussels, razor clams, sand worms, squid, and live or cut bait are good baits to use. You should use weights to take your bait to the bottom of the water. Once you cast out your line you should wait until you feel a bite. Once you feel the bite, set the hook and reel in the Cod (How to Catch Cod).
     Cod are mainly caught off the northern state's coasts. Rarely will Cod be caught south of Maryland. Once you are in the north you do not have to travel far to catch Cod. Fishing in the surf or fishing in the ocean on a boat are both effective ways to catch Cod. Depending on the size of Cod you wish to catch is where you should fish. The bigger Cod will be caught farther out into the ocean near shipwrecks and other underwater structures. Average and small Cod can easily be caught while fishing in the surf (Hot to Catch Cod). 
     Cod are known because of their meat in fish sticks but Cod are much tastier if eaten while fresh. Here is a recipe courtesy of "foodnetwork"

Ingredients

  • 6 (6-ounce) black cod fillets, or regular cod fillets
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium blond or white miso
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
  • Toasted sesame seeds and scallions, for garnish, optional

Directions

Preheat broiler.
Rinse fish fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Combine miso, brown sugar, sesame oil and mirin and stir well until brown sugar is fully dissolved.
Brush about 2 tablespoons miso glaze on each fish filletMarinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. Place fish under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until top is slightly charred and glaze has caramelized. Remove fish from oven and brush with remaining glaze. Lower oven to 375 degrees F. Cook an additional 5 to 6 minutes, until fish is flaky but not overcooked.
If desired, serve with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.
