Yes for whale they eat most of the tissue. It’s a fatty, beefy texture to the sight, but less tough to the jaw.

Most of a shark is cartilage, bone, and organ. There isn’t really a lot of edible meat.

I was told that a lot of what was sold as swordfish was, in fact, shark. This was a while back when things weren’t looked at so closely. I know I liked ‘swordfish steaks’.

I think you mean cartilage and connective tissue? Sharks don’t have bones...

Secondly, sharks do have plenty of meat on them. The meat is also more like Steak than Fish. The main problem with keeping their meat is they have to be cleaned alive. Like Crabs, if you clean a shark after it dies, it tends to ruin the meat. That’s why most fisherman, like me, tend to throw those guys back.
