Habitat & Resources

Sharks are large marine fish that live in oceans around the world, from shallow coastal waters to the deep sea. They are apex predators that play an important role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. In Iran, certain species of sharks are found in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, where they are traditionally caught and dried for local consumption.

Processing & Production

Dried shark is a seafood product that is processed by carefully cleaning fresh shark meat, then cutting it into fillets or strips. These pieces of meat are then well salted. Finally, they are dried using one of two traditional or industrial methods. In the traditional and older method, shark meat is dried in the sun or in controlled drying centers. Using the old method intensifies the flavor and creates a dense, chewy texture that is highly valued and popular in many cultures, especially in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
In the industrial method, the drying process is carried out using special chambers and machines in the shortest possible time. In some cases, smoking is also used to improve flavor and shelf life. This process intensifies the flavor of the meat and allows it to be stored for months.

Economic Importance

Dried shark has been an important food source in many fishing communities for centuries. It is valued for both its flavor and its ability to be stored without refrigeration. In areas such as the Persian Gulf, dried shark is traded locally and is sometimes exported to international markets where there is a high demand for canned seafood.
