* After gutting, dunk the shark in water to wash out as much blood as possible

* Put the shark on ice

* At the dock, cut the shark's head all the way around and make a cut from the head to the tail on both the top and bottom sides

* Using a pair of pliers in one hand and holding the head and tail in the other, skin the shark

* Then cut the head and tail off, remove the underlying layer of dark meat, and cut the shark into filets

* Wash thoroughly and package the shark for freezing or cooking as you would any other fish.

To further neutralize any residual ammonia, presoak the shark filets in an acidic solution such as lemon juice before cooking or freezing.
