Mako
One of the best table fish among the Pacific shark species, Mako offers a moist steak-like experience for the assertive at heart. Dressed with salt air aromatic qualities and flavors that evoke citrus, herbal and tangy nature, Mako is the fish lover's fish. High oil content and dense, moist texture make this a versatile meat for grilling and other high-heat applications.
