Actually, if you've ever seen Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel, Andrew Zimmern ate shark in Iceland prepared in a similar fashion. They use Greenland Shark. What the Icelanders do is that they loin the shark and then expose the loins to the elements for something like 6 months. The reason for this is that the shark meat has high concentrations of uric acid when its fresh making it poisonous and the exposure/drying lets the uric acid evaporate out. Andrew Zimmern liked it, but when Anthony Bourdain was there and tried it, he thought it was the most disgusting thing he had ever eaten. Personally, I'd go with Bourdain on this one.
