Every so often, a shark meat story arises that makes me sick.Destin Florida's new Landshark's Pizza is turning heads (and stomachs) with its new fresh ingredients. Landshark's claim to fame is right in their name. The restaurant is set to feature a shark pizza that has mako shark bits that are fried up and put on a pie with alfredo sauce, onions and mushrooms. David Hooten and Tom Shelton conspired together to develop this new and appalling pizza place.
What we hang our hat on is a mako shark pizza. It's made with real mako shark bought straight from Destin Ice.
The idea is you can only get this in Destin. We built this from the ground up and hope to open more up and down the Emerald Coast.
The owners felt that the quiet period between the tourists leaving and the arrival of the Snowbirds would be perfect for the soft opening of the pizzeria. The store's pizza chef, Adam Bayard, also serves up alligator pizza that 99ROCK describes as a "Cajun slap in the face." However, the real slap in the face is to all of us who are genuinely concerned about the shark populations worldwide. This is a blatant endorsement of the consumption of shark fin soup and other meals that greatly contribute to shark declines.Should this restaurant be shut down immediately? Can restaurants be allowed to endorse the slaughter of sharks worldwide? Let us know in the comments! And make sure to check out Malaysian Restaurant Bans Shark Fin Soup.

That is outrageous. But, unless no one buys the pizza, or people stop going there, they won't have much incentive to stop serving it. A call to their manager, at (850)424-6743 might be helpful, but be polite.
Dear Frank and Bree would either of your competing cruise lines happen to offer cavier? I would think a case of concern might be made as to the political correctness of eating the unborn.
As to the alleged endangered shark harvesting, the NWF Daily news clearly reports the shark is purchased from a local fish market.
Should we shut down all fish markets immediately?
No spear fishing for those juicy Grouper either.
The fish market shouldn't be shut down, just the selling of all shark meat.
