Composition and Palatability of Porbeagle Flesh
Frozen porbeagle (Lamna nasus) steaks from samples obtained under conditions typical of good and of poor handling were examined and their chemical composition determined. Lipid content was low, about 1% in the light muscle and 2% in the red. Phospholipase activity was absent, but considerable hydrol...
