About Bake and Shark
Bake and shark is a Trinidadian sandwich closely associated with Maracas Bay and Carnival in Felix's account. His home rendition places seasoned fried shark inside a fried bake, recreating a familiar beach and fete food.
The bake uses a flour dough with yeast, baking powder and brown sugar. The shark receives green seasoning before an egg wash and flour coating, then fries until golden.
Tomato and lettuce join the fish in the split bread. Felix describes an ample choice of sauces and sides, including garlic sauce, chadon beni chutney, pepper sauce and mango chutney.
