Sautéed Shark with Fiery Cilantro-Mint Sauce
Tiburón en Salsa de Cilantro-Yerbabuenaommercial marketing of shark has come into its own in recent years, and it's now available in many United States fish markets and some supermarkets as well. Fresh fish markets in Mexico regularly offer shark of whatever variety is caught along its extensive shoreline. Cazón (dogfish) is used in the Yucatán along the Caribbean coast. Other shark species, such as mako shark and thresher shark are frequently marketed in Mexico and the United States. Here, markets generally sell shark as steaks that are firm and very low in fat, and very similar to swordfish. This tangy sauce goes well with the mild flavor of shark. The sauce can be made ahead.
