Sharks for Sale A very popular local food in Trinidad is "Shark 'n Bake". It is served similar to how we would eat hamburgers. It consists of breaded, deep-fried shark meat topped with "salad" (lettuce & tomatoes) on a "bake" which is a deep-fried, round (burger size) bun." High fat for sure, but quite tasty. I was taken aback by the large number of sharks for sale at the farmer's market in Port of Spain. They ranged from baby (l0" in length) to full grown. The fish market also does a brisk trade in squid and shrimp.
