My father does alot of off shore deep sea fishing and usually has alot of small sharks in the freezer that usually get dumped on me since I've found some rather creative things to do with good shark steaks (besides stir fry). I don't know if chinese food is baked usually but this tastes good anyway Chinese Baked Shark ------------------- 2-4 shark steaks (the younger the shark the better) favorite white cooking wine onion green pepper mushrooms (the more the better, but that's just me) Hoisin sauce (or whichever chinese sauce you prefer) various spices Make sure the steaks are fresh (frozen shark can be used as a retread rubber). Marinate them in a few spices and 3-4 tablespoons of wine per steak for about 2 hours. Saute your veggies with some butter and wine and add the chinese sauce. Bring to a simmer and add about a cup of wine and then turn the heat down to low. Now, butter the bottom of your baking dish, add some fresh veggies to the bottom of the dish if you want (I make a different variation of this each time I cook it). Put the steaks in and then pour the sauce on top. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until they're white throughout. Don't overcook because the can get rubbery. I usually serve them with some stir fry vegetables and rice. You can also make it an Italian dish by substituting tomato sauce for the hoisin sauce. (Has anyone heard of this before? If so I'd like to see some variations on it. Email them to me and i'll summarize if needed...) Michael Mealling ccoprmm@prism.gatech.edu
