Instructions:

Prepare the Shark: Start by filleting the shark if you’re working with whole fish. Remove the rather leathery skin and cut the fish into four even pieces. Alternatively, you can purchase ready-to-cook shark steaks from your local seafood market.
-
Make the Teriyaki Sauce: Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the diced tomato and onion powder to the pan. Cook for about three minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato softens and begins to meld with the onion powder, creating a simple, flavorful sauce. Stir in the teriyaki sauce and cook for another minute to combine the flavors. Set the sauce aside.
-
Prepare for Frying: In another skillet, heat four tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. While the oil heats, set up a dredging station: place the flour on a plate and pour the beaten egg into a shallow bowl.
-
Coat the Shark: Dip each piece of shark into the flour, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Next, immerse the floured shark in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
-
Fry the Shark: Carefully place the coated shark pieces into the hot oil. Cook for approximately four minutes on each side, or until the fish turns golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure the fish cooks through without burning the coating.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove the cooked shark from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Finish and Garnish: Arrange the shark pieces on a serving plate. Pour the prepared teriyaki tomato sauce over the fish. For a decorative touch, garnish with pineapple rings and a sprig of fresh dill.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Teriyaki Shark Fry warm and enjoy the sweet, tangy, and savory flavors that are sure to please your taste buds.
Tips:
- Customize the Sauce: Feel free to personalize the sauce by adding your favorite spices or herbs to the tomato mixture.
- Oil Temperature: Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the shark to get a crispy exterior. If the oil is too cool, the coating may become soggy.
- Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
