Bake and Shark is a very popular street food sold in Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of those must-try items for visitors to the twin-island Republic and for locals, a week without eating Bake and Shark would just seem unnatural.
Bake refers to fried dough. It is a dough made of all purpose flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, a little grease (preferably butter) and brought together with water. Once rested, the dough is then divided into 3-inch balls, rolled into flat discs and fried until it puffs up. The inside of the bake is hallow and therefore, it is the perfect vehicle for stuffing or sandwiching things.
Shark is shark. Well, not the huge ones we see in movies and on television, these are much smaller shark. They are skinned, deboned, and sold filleted. The shark is seasoned with green seasoning, along with salt and pepper, breaded and pan fried.
