Offshore Wrecks

Any danger from radiation ? Did your dad eat that Mako Shark ? I remember catching my first shark in 1973 off Montauk . Do you remember what Merrick was like in 1964 ? , I was born that year. The marsh went right up to Merrick Road , they illegally pumped sand from Merrick bay to fill in the marsh land there and later built the homes in South Merrick. That's why Merrick Bay has deep holes.

As to any radiation danger…….not that I’m aware of. I would think it was a pretty low dose, and well contained, but I don’t know. We ate the Mako, and although I cannot remember what it taste like, I do remember my mom and others saying it was terrible. Mako’s that size are not the greatest eating. Couple that with the fact they probably didn’t have much, if any ice on board. I have memories of the drink/food cooler having these small red plaid looking cans that you froze at home and those were used used to keep things cold in the old metal cooler. By the time they got that Mako back to the dock, steaked it, etc, it probably had been out in the sun for quite some time. Just my guess.
