Frozen Shark in a Pan is an incredibly easy and quick second course to prepare, with very few ingredients and a fish steak that resembles swordfish but is much more economical! Frozen shark in a pan can be prepared in no time, but if you want a more substantial dish, you can try Mediterranean Shark or Livorno-style Shark, and if you have children who just can’t stand fish, try my Mugnaia-style Shark recipe and you’ll win them over!
