About Battered and fried shark

Battered and Fried Shark is a seafood dish featuring shark filets coated in a seasoned batter and deep-fried to golden perfection. Originating from coastal cuisines where seafood is abundant, this dish is a popular choice in countries like Australia, South Africa, and parts of Southeast Asia. The shark meat is firm, mildly flavored, and rich in protein, making it a satisfying option for seafood lovers. However, the batter and frying process add significant calories and fat, which may offset its nutritional benefits. Additionally, shark meat may contain higher mercury levels compared to other fish, and sustainable sourcing is a key concern, as overfishing threatens shark populations worldwide. For a healthier spin, baking or grilling the shark instead of frying, and choosing sustainably sourced varieties, can help minimize environmental impact and improve the health profile of this well-loved dish.
