Is that anything like smoked manatee?

No, blackened baby seal

I cut mine like salmon steaks(looks like a horseshoe) and marinate in italian dressing then throw on the grill....

A guy I know from Trinidad taught me how to do it, and it is excellent. Fillet the shark and skin it, without cutting through the backbone. Soak the fillets in milk (or buttermilk) overnight, then drain the milk and rinse it from the fillets and then let them sit in lime juice (I assume lemon juice would work too) overnight. By then, it's pretty much savichi. You can then bread it and fry it (my favorite) or grill it, barbecue it, whatever.

He swears that if you cut through the backbone, it releases some kind of fluid onto the meat and ruins it. I dunno, but I know that the way he does it is delicious.

I've also had barbecued shark steaks with a mustard based barbecue sauce that were really good. (Although they had been cut through the backbone)

Oh, I forgot to mention that you need to bleed it as soon as you catch it.
