This is a quick and simple recipe that can easily be complimented with other spices to fit your taste. Soaking in milk may sound strange but it gets rid of the ammonia taste that sharks sometimes have so do not pass up this step! - 08 Mar 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I have made this recipe twice. Both times, I soaked the shark filet in milk for at least 10 minutes..then, I have drained, patted dry and baked with squeezed lemon juice and pepper. It is fast and tasty. - 26 Mar 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I will be trying this tonight, but just wanted to clarify that the milk is to remove any fishy odor and/or taste. - 07 Sep 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
