Uncle Sam’s Bake and Shark delivers a single, legendary sandwich: crispy fried shark tucked into warm, fried bread. The vibe is pure Caribbean seaside bliss, messy and utterly satisfying.
“It's the best shark burger I've ever had. They use a couple different types of sharks — this is the premium Mako shark, also blue sharks and locally they source some hammerhead sharks. It's spiced up, marinated, breaded and then straight into the deep fry. The bread is called a float because it just floats right up to the top when you fry it. I love that you can load it up with all the veggies, even fruit, pineapple, everything. It doesn't have any distinguishable taste compared to any other white fish and it has some heat to it. It's better than any fish burger I've ever had.”
