La Jolla 8ft soupfin shark: didn't keep it or gaff. didn't know what it was.

I looked it up and it looks to be a soupfin shark, tail matches exactly

or i could be mistaken.

When in doubt...let it go or risk paying the tax man

Leopards, soupfins, threshers are good eating. Best not to gaff sharks though, very dangerous. When you get them tired, rope their tail. Drag them backwards till they drown or beat their brains in. Make sure their subdued before bleeding them and securing them. Soupfins have short teeth, but a six foot one hundred pounder could easly saw your fingers off.

Soupfin is okay to eat, but a little on the tough side for fish. Also, don't leave it in the fridge more than 2 days or so, it will get a build up of an amonia smell when you cook it. Although I think there is a way to counter that, I am too lazy so I don't think I am going to keep any more of those.
