Bake and Shark

Bake and shark is a special sandwich that is famous in the country of Trinidad and Tobago. It starts with a type of bread called bake, which is a soft, fluffy bread that is cooked on a griddle or flat surface.

To make the sandwich, you first need to catch a shark (just kidding! You can buy it at the store). The shark is cleaned, cut into pieces, and then seasoned with spices like garlic, cumin, and paprika.

The seasoned shark is then fried until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is placed inside the bake, along with toppings like lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and hot sauce. You can also add things like coleslaw, cheese, or pineapple for extra flavor.

Once everything is inside the bake, you fold it up like a taco and enjoy a delicious and unique sandwich that is full of flavor and texture. It's a popular street food in Trinidad and Tobago and is especially popular at the beach.
