The trick to eliminating the fish odor is to burn some cannabis while frying the fish. Jamaican cannabis is best but you could substitute California organic small batch flower if that's what is available.
I remember seeing this on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern back in the day, and he said it was one of his all time top ten, not just sandwiches, but foods period. Definitely want to give it a try sometime.
Thanks so much for trying this out. I didn't think you initially because shark is so difficult to acquire in North America. But I'm really glad you enjoyed it. If you realyy do plan to come down to try it out, make a beeline for Maracas Beach, it's 10ntimes better there!
You didn’t say “It’s a bit of a process,” so I didn’t have time to gird my loins for this one. Holy cow! What an amazing looking and sounding sandwich. Thank you as always for going through such a daunting and impressive process for us.
It's true about culantro. I was so hopeful that I'd like it as a cilantro sub, but MAN it was awful. I had to leave the room because the smell was so strong. People who love cilantro LOVE it. Also, you can cook it and it maintains its odor and flavor.
Yes, it was a lot of work, but most was in making sauces. If they were made ahead in volume and just kept on hand, it wouldn't be much work and they could be used for other things. Same could be said for the fry bread.
It’s also served with salted cod, and shark usually refers to sailfish and other similar Caribbean fishes. My family is from Barbados(I’m estranged). You should try Trinidadian doubles as a future sandwich.
Habaneros are incredibly close to Scotch Bonnets but I like the flavor of Bonnets more. Also, the Bonnet is spicier IMHO, but I could have just grown some incredibly hot ones. Speaking of that, they're incredibly easy to grow! I recommend adding a plant to your garden if you like to experiment with peppers.
my family is from Trinidad, I love bake and shark so much didn't know shark was being overfished so badly, although I'd also assumed a lot of places not right on the beach were substituting it for something else anyway
Also - I've looked for culantro (sp?) leaves before for Jamaican Green Seasoning. I've never found it in the Portland area - including Caribbean specialty stores. Where did you find it (not that I know where you are).
Maybe it was a typo, and it was supposed to be basking shark? Seriously though, swordfish is definitely a good choice. I don't think I've ever had culantro, but I do have the soap thing with cilantro, so I'd probably use parsley. Since culantro is a different genus than cilantro, I would be willing to try it, but not on an extravagant sandwich like this.
Probably when the fishermen are on the boat . When they pull in their catch shark is more than likely a "junk" fish. But knowing the shark would probably die even if thrown back into the ocean. The fishermen just use it as a cheap local fish.
Not all sharks are endangered! The sharks people use for bake and shark, shark in the gullah food of the Carolinas, etc are plentiful. Not all sharks are the same and many can be sustainably fished.
From a comment on my Instagram account: hi, marine biology student studying sharks specifically. There are more than 530 species of sharks, many of which are endangered and critically endangered, but only one species of true swordfish (but 12 species of billfish, which swordfish fall into). Swordfish, even though they’re a singular species, are not endangered at all and aren’t on the radar to be anytime soon. Hope this helps add some context! Feel free to ask anything you need clarity on.
@@randydarklight Italy does not have many spices at all compared to Trini food, Indian food, Thai food, etc. So, no, Italy fits what I'm saying. You only think Italian food is flavorful if you compare it to Scandinavian food, which is further North than Italy
@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 Have you ever heard anything about Italian food? Name the spices old man. You think that turmeric, cumin, coriander, chillies, ginger, black cumin, fenugreek, asafoetida, mustard seeds, cardamom, star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon, cloves, etc. etc. are the king of spices and then you have everything better? Nonsense. Thyme, rosemary, marjoram, basil, oregano, garlic, parsley, lovage, tarragon are spices of the heart and far from your equator.
I find it hard to believe that shark is endangered, and you used swordfish? I'm pretty sure swordfish is an endangered species. I could be wrong here. 🤷♂
This has nothing to go with Jamaica. It was created in Maracas beach, Trinidad. Andrew Zimmerman called it the best fish sandwich he ever had. I have no idea why you are associating it with Jamaica. I've watch several Jamaican TH-camrs visit Trinidad, they all have never had shark. Shark is not eaten in Jamaica. Further more, chadon beni (a key ingredient in trini cooking and one kf yhe sauces you'll find on bake and shark) is not used at all in Jamaican cooking.
Way too much effort just to make a sandwich. Would be interesting to try the sauces in another format like a marinade, salad dressing, or adding to pasta.
All sharks are not endangered. A look through TH-cam will provide you with numerous "catch and cook" fishermen's videos. And yes, it is sold in grocery stores, same as Red Snapper, Swordfish (which is more over fished than sharks) Mahi Mahi, Cod, Salmon and many, many other saltwater fish. Another over reaction from the feels of environmentalists and socce3r moms everywhere after the success of "Shark Week" on TV. Love your vids, interesting and entertaining, but stick with what you know and stay away from all of this woke leftist BS.

"It's Shark and Bake, and I helped!"
In Jamaica, Bake is a fried bread typically made from baking powder leavened dough. So I guess it gets its name from the baking powder.🤷♂
@@Nashvillain10SE this guys an idiot and does no research
I flew down and ordered one, came back and you were still making the sandwich!
I've never regretting trying a sauce named after an onomatopoeia
The trick to eliminating the fish odor is to burn some cannabis while frying the fish. Jamaican cannabis is best but you could substitute California organic small batch flower if that's what is available.
Jam
bro then it's gonna smell like fish AND weed 🙊
Baked and Shark
@@perpetualgrimace ever been to Jamaica? 🙃
there it is lol

I miss that show. It was fascinating to see what normal people of various cultures eat, instead of the famous dishes we're all used to seeing.
Thanks so much for trying this out. I didn't think you initially because shark is so difficult to acquire in North America. But I'm really glad you enjoyed it. If you realyy do plan to come down to try it out, make a beeline for Maracas Beach, it's 10ntimes better there!
Scotch bonnet is nearly the same spice as a habanero but has a sweeter flavor and ripens to be much more red
In Trinidad they would use pimento peppers, a cultivar of chile with the flavor of a scotch bonnet but no heat.
Catfish would totally work for the fish IMO
Except for the muddiness
😱 No rating!? Goodness gracious! A sandwich scandal!
Why if you'd eat it "ANY DAY"
A scandwich!
Sounded like a 10 to me!
Probably because it uses swordfish instead of shark, or because he doesn't want to promote eating shark as much
With "No Plus Up needed", I'm guessing that the '10' is implied?
This was awesome! I’m at least one of the people who suggested it ☺️. I had it at Maracas Bay in 2014 and I still think about it!
You didn’t say “It’s a bit of a process,” so I didn’t have time to gird my loins for this one. Holy cow! What an amazing looking and sounding sandwich. Thank you as always for going through such a daunting and impressive process for us.
I love this. Have never come across anything like it. The variety of ingredients is impressive.
Sir, your dedication to the cause is astounding ❤
You, sir, are committed. Well played.
It's true about culantro. I was so hopeful that I'd like it as a cilantro sub, but MAN it was awful. I had to leave the room because the smell was so strong. People who love cilantro LOVE it. Also, you can cook it and it maintains its odor and flavor.
My favorite takeaway is a new swordfish recipe, THANKS😋
Sandwich so good he forgot the rating! LOL, let's just call it the first eleven!
Decent subs for shark are monkfish and stingray.
Agreed .. Swordfish is still overfished too I think
Yeah, I was hoping for monkfish (no way our stores would have ray) but alas no
where do you find culantro? that sounds amazing!
Maybe it's spelled coolantro since cool people like cilantro.
Yes, it was a lot of work, but most was in making sauces. If they were made ahead in volume and just kept on hand, it wouldn't be much work and they could be used for other things. Same could be said for the fry bread.
If you bake the fish and add bacon would that make it a Bacon Shake & Bake & Shark?
Oh God I hope so!
I LOVE a bake n shark. Nice work!
Looks wonderful. I love both shark and swordfish. Good to know about them being over fished.
It’s also served with salted cod, and shark usually refers to sailfish and other similar Caribbean fishes. My family is from Barbados(I’m estranged). You should try Trinidadian doubles as a future sandwich.
this looks fire
Thank you
That's a lot of work.
I make a vegan version of this all the time with Beyond Shark
lmao
I put this recipe on Reddit as well
@@Smoxie804agreed.
Can't tell if satire lol
@@imetacrab Is it good? I've only used Beyond Shrimp.
looks incredible! i was surprised that the bread didnt have a big pocket in the center, like a poori/puri
Habaneros are incredibly close to Scotch Bonnets but I like the flavor of Bonnets more. Also, the Bonnet is spicier IMHO, but I could have just grown some incredibly hot ones.
Speaking of that, they're incredibly easy to grow! I recommend adding a plant to your garden if you like to experiment with peppers.
That looks delicious! I'd love to try that with swordfish
Thanks Barry.👍👍 Little too spicy for me though.
Bake and shark is great - perfect breakfast food
my family is from Trinidad, I love bake and shark so much
didn't know shark was being overfished so badly, although I'd also assumed a lot of places not right on the beach were substituting it for something else anyway
That sounds delicious - As a Sandwich connoisseur, I'll definitely put this one on my list.
*If I find shark in a store around here, it’s definitely not shark”. 😂
Imagine going through all that and it was a one.
All those sauces, now what are you going to do with them? This would be fine made with tofu with all that (and I'm not a fan). Nice.
Also - I've looked for culantro (sp?) leaves before for Jamaican Green Seasoning. I've never found it in the Portland area - including Caribbean specialty stores. Where did you find it (not that I know where you are).
Jamaicans dont make green seasoning or use chadon beni (culantro)....not everything in yhe Caribbean is Jamaican. This is 100% a trini dish.
Cilantro is a good substitute for culantro, you'll barely be able to tell the difference.
Awesome anyday Sandwich 🦈🥪🤘
Kalik lager from the Bahamas would be a perfect pairing! (IMHO)
After the 37th flavor component, I was pretty sure there wouldn't be a plus-up.
So..... a 10?
Not even a subtitle rating?
If the sandwich doesn't need to be plussed up, is it "nonplussed"? ha haaaa
@@RUBIZEN I believe it is! 😄
Maybe it was a typo, and it was supposed to be basking shark?
Seriously though, swordfish is definitely a good choice. I don't think I've ever had culantro, but I do have the soap thing with cilantro, so I'd probably use parsley. Since culantro is a different genus than cilantro, I would be willing to try it, but not on an extravagant sandwich like this.
you know what you have to do -- SoW goes international
With all the Chili, did ya taste the mustard? Your fry bread turned out perfect!
Looks outstanding ! Of course I will skip the mmm-hmmm sauce.
Hope the dress rehearsal went well!
Thanks! Alas, I tested positive for covid on Saturday and had to cancel it.
Very interesting... yay habanero!
Easier to book a Caribbean vacation, and probably cheaper :)
Probably when the fishermen are on the boat . When they pull in their catch shark is more than likely a "junk" fish. But knowing the shark would probably die even if thrown back into the ocean. The fishermen just use it as a cheap local fish.
Barry I have some leopard shark in the freezer if you need any. It’s already dead do it won’t matter
Did I miss the 9 - 9.5?? 😧
10
Swordfish, and shark, is very high in mercury.
Thank you for pronouncing Caribbean correctly😂
I really like shark, but the mercury levels are scary.
Whats the score? I'm assuming 10?
Yep
I thought habaneros and Scotch bonnets where the same thing? I'm probably wrong tho
just saying fermented shark is an option
Another chance to look for those shirt dolphins!
Put that in a box and sell it.........Thanks for sharing.....Joie de Vivre
Wow that's a lot of ingredients.
you have to be rich to try some of these sandwiches. I couldn't afford shark or swordfish
Sounds good and I don't even like fish
I'm guessing an 8 or 8-1/2?
Not all sharks are endangered! The sharks people use for bake and shark, shark in the gullah food of the Carolinas, etc are plentiful. Not all sharks are the same and many can be sustainably fished.
If only we knew the score / rating. 9.5? 9.75? Perfect 10?
No score?!
For white guy who has never been to T&T, very well done👍. So good you forgot to give it a 10/10 ?😉
I hadn’t realized we had a shark shortage.
Jaws (1974) was the worst thing for the image of those fish

If you’ve not already definitely make doubles from Trinidad and Tobago
He did.
They don't mean that kind of bake.
Did you rate this out of 10? I didn’t hear it!
Add bacon
Maybe "bake" refers to preparing the cook! 😂
Like weed smoking? Lol
@@HarveyJackson1967 Got it in one! 😉
that is the most complicated sandwich preperation I have ever seen
Where's the score!!
10
@@SandwichesofHistory noice
Need s acore...
Wait, there's an even more soapy-tasting version of cilantro?
It is a harder leaf. You wouldn't want to eat it raw more of an ingredient in cooking
I've read since posting that it may not have the same enzyme as cilantro. So it could be an alternative maybe?
I wouldn't make the sandwich but we just got 3 sauces and a marinade out of this.
I do love eating swordfish sashimi style
But you didn't rate it!!
My global food theory is the closer to the equator anywhere in the world you get, the more flavor the food has.
Italy is 2958,97 miles north of the equator. So your theory has collapsed.

😮i had shark once, its delicious! Tastes like steak 🥩
Not quite traditional, but still looks good. I had an actual bake and shark two days ago, by the way.
