It was really flavourful...as others said, it is quite salty, so garlic powder is a must instead of garlic salt. Next time, I would water down the wet ingredients some.

Not bad, but not great either. I was very disappointed that the rub/marinade completely masked the flavor of the shark. I felt like I was eating a chicken breast. Next time, I plan on decreasing the amount of spices by at least half, and increasing the liquid (possibly with orange juice or red wine vinegar) to make it more of a true marinade. Also, I found the cook time to be too long, but that may have been because my shark was cut about 1" thick.

I made this and it was just OK for us. Maybe I used the wrong kind of chili powder or something because it tasted really strong. Other than that, it was fine. I will probably make it again and modify a little.

This is an exceptional marinade - I say marinade because I simply mixed all the ingredients together and poured it over the fish. In addition, I used 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder and oregano instead of thyme. I then grilled the shark steaks on medium-high heat 7-8 minutes on each side. It was fantastic!

I cut the spices in half to make this a more liquid marinade for grilling. I give this four stars because had I left all the spices in, it would have been very overpowering.

I really liked this, the marinade=amazing, I think this would be so good over maybe chicken or in shrimp stir fry. I used fresh garlic though, chopped it super fine. and mixed it in with the other stuff. I also did use a touch more soy sauce, because I'm not to thrilled with the tasted of worcestershire sauce. Oh yeah, I had no more chilli powder so I used red pepper flakes. All in all this was really good. But 40 minutes over cooked it a bit, next time I'll probably put it in for 15 minutes on each side, maybe even slap it on the grill then drizzle a butter-lemon sauce on it when it comes off. This was my first time eating/making shark and I'm very happy with the results!

I had never made shark before this. The recipe was great. It was very strong in flavor though. I actually marinated it in a bag with double the soy and Worchestershire sauce. I added about 1/2 cup water to the marinade. I let it soak for about 3 hours. The spice seemed to be very thick still so I wiped off the steaks with a paper towel. They still had lots of seasoning flavor so I might either not marinate them as long next time or even cut down on the seasoning in some way. I would be interested to try these on steaks or chicken. It is similar to the marinade that I usually use for my steaks. Great recipe!

Oh my goodness, this was sooo amazingly awesome. The shark simply melted in my mouth and the soy sauce carmelized into the fish. I will make this again and again.

Really yummy! Well he used the recipe with King Mackerel steaks instead and my husband bbq-ed them instead of baking them. But the marinade was fabulous!

This turned out so well - we hadn't had shark in some time, so were looking for something different to try. The flavor this rub gives is great, but pretty intense. We put them on the indoor grill, and they came out beautifully.

I chose this recipe for my first time having shark, and I was not disappointed.I did cut down to 1 tablespoon chili powder and black pepper as I don't care for too much hot spices. I will definatly make the rub to try with other meats.

Great recipie! My entire family loved it, including my 2 year old. Like everyone else I cut down on the salt. I eliminated the soy sauce and sub Jamaican sweet pineapple sauce by Nells Old Time. I also added 1 tbsp of fresh basil.

This was a pretty good rub. Like other reviewers, I ended up scraping off a lot of the rub before eating, but the flavor was good. I still wanted a little more flavor, maybe even a sauce or something to liven it up a little bit.

I hate to be the first to say I didn't like this, but its true. I followed the recipe, except cut the ingredients (all but shark) in half. I still felt the spice overwhelmed the fish and I could even taste it. I will not make this again. Guess I like my thing with less POW! I just wanted to taste the fish and I didn't at all. Sorry guys..
