Rare Megamouth Shark Found in Philipines — And Promptly Sautéed with Coconut Milk and Eaten

The Megamouth shark (Megachasma pelagios) is so rare that only 41 has ever been seen or captured in history. The 41st was found off the Bicol peninsula on Luzon island. It was promptly carved up, sautéed and eaten by the locals. This comes only a couple months after an endangered bird was found on Luzon and promptly sold and eaten and poultry.

The Megamouth is half a ton in weight. The first such shark was only caught in 1976. For a rare video, click here. You can even get a poster . . . if you missed the lunch.
