Same method here.... and I cut schoolies and gummies into thinner slices too..My biggest problem is getting my share! My family prefer shark to most other fish... and my aging dog (a female boxer) comes out of hibernation when she smells shark being prepared--- sits there real close, slobbering as only boxers can, big brown eyes pleading for a taste--- and wuffing at me to get attention if I'm too slow to give her some. And the cartlidge goes her way too-
