School Shark

A tier

School shark is the Australian and trade name for tope used as premium flake in fish-and-chip shops—sweet, boneless-feeling steaks after good filleting, with a clean bite under crisp batter. It is true Galeorhinus galeus, not an undefined mix. Order only from suppliers in rebuild fisheries. The eating quality is why it became famous; the conservation story is why many shops switched to gummy shark or other species. When stock status allows, cook simply fried or grilled.
