Mako Shark Steaks in Herb Butter

By

Mako Shark, or specifically, Shortfin Mako, is one of my favorite meals (right after this Monkfish dish in fact). Mako Shark is available fresh usually between August and January. Being very high in protein and low in fat, and tasting similar to swordfish (moist and a slight sweetness coupled with a firm, meaty taste.), makes Shortfin Mako a very popular eat. Here’s a recipe I’ve had luck trying on the test subjec-cough- I mean roommates!
