I wonder how's the shark on the three coasts......
Never tasted shark before, but I'm interested in trying some.
I do like Mako. Swordfish is probably the best thing to compare it to, but I find Mako to be a little easier to work with when cooking (Swordfish dries out fairly easily). I like to pan sear it and serve it over spinach with a squirt of lemon and a light mango salsa. It's really good. The issue with shark (they say, anyway) is that it's high in mercury content. It's a once in a while meal. If we're talking fresh fish, I really REALLY like fresh striped bass. it's definitely one of my favorite foods. A nice tuna steak seared rare is a little slice of heaven too, but even the "fresh" stuff from the fishmonger was flash frozen at sea. My fish guy puts the sushi grade tuna out in a massive block and I can pick the size and location of the cut. I typically go with the fattier, darker meat. It's less appealing to many people than the deep purple sections, but the flavor is out of this world.
Oh, and speaking of shark, there are a few restaurants in the area now that do a pretty good job with spiny dogfish. Really tasty when prepared well and I had always considered it sort of a throw away fish.

Admittedly I never tried Dogfish until Andrew Zimmern the Bizarre Foods guy filmed an episode in Boston and featured them. Now I have to admit it really is delicious and wouldn't have even paid it any mind unless I watched that show.
By the way, just out of curiosity who is your Fishmonger locally? I go to New Deal in Cambridge personally.
im a bit bias'd but the east coast has maine lobster, and this is my fav food!!
we also have steamer clams,,,which are awesome steamed, or fried
and
we have delicate sea scallops- scallops wrapped in bacon are ...one of my fav appetizers..
and
as the native Indians did, you can cook the lobsters and clams in seaweed, giving it a smokey flavor that is heavenly!! we call it a clambake or lobsterbake
and
we have the rugged maine women that will help dig the clams, they aren't the dainty California ewww & ick girls

Andrew Zimmern also focused on snakeheads when he was doing an episode in the DC area. I honestly didn't know you can eat them nor did I realized that there are actually quite a few restaurants that have snakehead on the menu.....A clever and Eco-friendly way to deal with their invasive presence in the Chesapeake Bay and the various other watersheds throughout the DMV and the Delmarva. Might give it a try one day!

It's the truth, have yeah ever been to maine?? And not the touristy places.
California and Maine have as much in common as a Lobsta with claws and a warm water one with none..
The northeast all the way in regards to seafood. Cold water Lobsta (the best) clams, haddock, cod, tuna...
Quahog's and Oysters..
A diversity of seafood and find cold water fish the best. The pacific has it's own qualities too, but i think the NE is more diverse and tasty when it comes to seafood. Ah the scallops...i forget those!

I have to agree
I grew up in a small fishing village, we dug clams, fished, picked mussels, dragged for scallops, and went lobstering - hard work, but some mornings when you head out and see the sun rising,it is absolutely beautiful,,,maine is unspoiled, 93 % trees and a long coastline, =fresh air
as kids we spent most of our formative years smelling like bait- but so did the other kids,,lol
and im always jokin bout the maine women-
