Sharks in the Desert

Meat, unexpectedly, has become a real challenge for me here. I'm always unsure of what I'm eating or scared to eat. Yesterday I saw my host mother buy a chunk of shark in an out-door market (in the middle of the desert here, faaar from the ocean). It was the first time I flat out refused to eat something. Cow brain, sheep intestines, camel head, okay.. but shark in the desert with flies all over it outside hanging from a bamboo pole in the middle of the desert? .. no thanks!
