Two great white sharks were spotted off the coast of Chatham on Thursday, the first documented sightings of the 2012 summer season, according to the Sandwich-based Cape Cod Shark Hunters.
“I spotted a couple yesterday,” spotter pilot George Breen said today. “One was about a quarter-mile offshore and the bigger of the two was about 50 yards off.”

I am petrified of the ocean! You would be lucky to get me to cover my toes in the water. If a wave comes I run back. I’ve had too many incidents in the ocean to appreciate it! Boat.... Not a chance! lol
If I was on that sailboat with you, I’d be screaming the whole way. hahaha
“Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged women.”
Done right, shark steaks are pretty good.
1.) Cut fresh thawed shark steaks into 1 inch shark cubes.
2.) Wrap shark cubes with bacon and secure bacon with tooth picks.
3.) Sprinkle bacon-wrapped shark cubes with garlic salt.
4.) Cook bacon-wrapped garlic salt-sprinkled shark cubes on grill.
One of the most powerful, well done soliloquies ever in movie-dom. Robert Shaw could pull you right into the scene.
Oh man, I can literally taste that delicacy as I read that.
Sometimes we eat them. Sometimes they eat us ... ‘Maggots gotta eat too.’
Rotten Shark
Hákarl is traditionally prepared by gutting and beheading a Greenland or basking shark and placing it in a shallow hole dug in gravelly-sand, with the now-cleaned cavity resting on a slight hill. The shark is then covered with sand and gravel, and stones are then placed on top of the sand in order to press the shark. The fluids from the shark are in this way pressed out of the body. The shark ferments in this fashion for 6–12 weeks depending on the season.
Following this curing period, the shark is then cut into strips and hung to dry for several months. During this drying period a brown crust will develop, which is removed prior to cutting the shark into small pieces and serving.
Icelandic delicacy
You’d like that song - sounds like Texas singin’.
I would’ve like Quint if he were real. I’ve worked with a lot of men over the years that were pretty close, but he was a top shelf working class portrayal. BTW, I don’t bestow that honor lightly...
For me, it ranks as one of the best dialogues in film. “Anyway, we delivered the bomb”.
Shaw was probably the only good thing about that dreadful “Battle of the Bulge” movie.
