Recipe:
1. Fillet the fish as shown in this video.

2. Soak the shark steaks in milk overnight, then rinse and pat dry. Pan fry for 5-6 minutes over medium heat on each side.

3. Pasta alla vodka: start by boiling your rigatoni or penne according to package instructions, or until al dente.

4. Creamy sauce: sweat the shallots, add the garlic and chillies. Sweat down for a minute or two and add the tomato paste. Cook until the paste turns darker and deglaze with the vodka. Flambé, pour in the cream, add the grated cheese, basil and pasta. Plate with the shark and enjoy!
