Looks like it aint good on the tooth: Danger to Humans The sharpnose sevengill shark is considered harmless to humans. However, care must be taken when landing this shark as it is aggressive and will attempt to bite its captors. The flesh is mildly poisonous to humans when consumed. This is from the Florida Museum of Natural History. 7 Gill Shark Cheers, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 4 people who took part in the feast and all considered it to be quite yum. I would like to add that all 4 are still kicking at this point in time but will keep you posted if any drop offs cheers bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
