Unfertilized shark eggs, on the other hand, are both edible and nutritious. So-called “ova” like those of the Dogfish above are found by happenstance in the ovaries of sharks caught for food or sport. They can range in size up to that of chicken eggs and can be prepared for eating in many of the same ways.
Can you cook shark eggs?
One at a time take a shark egg out and gently place it into the oil. Fry them making sure to maintain heat above 325 degrees. One egg takes about 5 minutes and should come to a beautiful golden brown.
A huge variety of animals produce eggs. These help to protect and provide for offspring as they develop. There are over 500 species of shark living in waters around the world and the majority give birth to live young. The remainder are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs.
