I just wanted to share this experience with MyLotters. I recently had the most amazing lunch experience... I visited friends in Durban South Africa and we went for lunch at uShaka Sea World. The restaurant was inside a stranded ship, and we sat next to a shark tank enjoying lunch.
It was quite a weird experience, eating your steak while the shark swims by and looks at what is on your plate!Have you ever experienced something like this?

Not quite, but I have eaten shark caught by spear fishing further up the coast in Mocambique for lunch!
Absolutely delicious - like white steak.
Recipe:- Cut off a chunk, add seasoning, wrap in tin foil and chuck on camp fire for 15 mins. Unwrap and eat!
Great place RSA.

Haha - yes, it depends who is on who's menu!!
Sharks are really awesome to hunt in their own environment. They are so beautifully efficient creatures.

There is a restaurant down in Disneyworld where you can have very good food while looking at the sharks and other sea creatures swimming around. It is a fascinating experience and love it very much. I would only be worried if the shark tried to break through the glass. LOL It sounds like you had a nice and fun experience.

This must have been an awesome experience! I don't know how much of an appetite I would have if I had sharks staring me down during lunch! I visited the site for UShaka Sea World, and it looks like an amazing place. I'll have to put it on my list of "must see" places for when I am able to travel to South Africa. I would love to see that part of the world.

Wow, this might have been amazing. I have seen sharks once in my life, but htey were quite small ones and I didnt have to eat next to them. But it was a bit spooky to look at them allready then. But to sit and to eat next to them..although it looks kind of scary as well, I would like to do it also.
