I have never dined on one and can't really say that I would be too interested in doing so but that is just my opinion.
I have heard that the tails of Shovelnose Sharks are pretty good. Some say they taste a bit like Lobster. Maybe thats because their basic diet consists of crustatians. As far as cleaning them I would do so right away because I beleive that their livers contain a high degree of urea which can taint the meat much like the blue shark.
If it was me, I would release them and buy farmed fish or cold water fish from your local grocer.
Tight lines and born to swing! :7
