Prionace glauca

A tier

Prionace glauca is the blue shark—a slender oceanic species sometimes landed for meat that is firm, mild-to-assertive, and prone to ammonia notes if not bled and iced immediately. Properly handled steaks are dense and grill well; poor handling ruins the fish. Soak briefly in acidulated water if needed, then grill or stew. Many blue shark stocks face pressure—prefer avoided or only MSC-level rare exceptions. This entry documents the species; sustainability should drive whether you cook it at all.
