Ghost Shark, also known as Hydrolagus novaezealandiae or elephant fish (especially in New Zealand), is a deep-water species with a unique and somewhat otherworldly appearance. It has a smooth, scaleless body that ranges in colour from pale grey to silvery white, with a long, tapering tail and wing-like pectoral fins. Males have a distinctive, trunk-like projection on their snout—hence the nickname "elephant fish."

Ghost Shark fillets are valued for their mild, sweet flavour and firm, slightly gelatinous texture. The flesh is white, lean, and moist, making it ideal for a range of cooking methods, including baking, grilling, or pan-frying. It holds together well during cooking and is often compared to monkfish or gurnard in texture.

Nutritionally, Ghost Shark is low in fat, high in protein, and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. Its unique taste and texture have made it increasingly popular in both home kitchens and restaurants.
