MIAMI (AP) -- The body of a shark was left lying in the middle of downtown Miami street after two men tried to sell it to several fish markets.

The men apparently carried the five or six-foot-long fish around on the city's Metromover downtown train, prompting calls to police.

News footage Tuesday night showed the dead animal in the street with police officers and cruisers nearby. Two stations reported that a pair of men had tried to sell the animal to at least three fish markets for around $10.

Rob Orta, an employee at Casablanca Fish Market, told television station WSVN that the men offered his business the shark.

"But we don't buy sharks off the street," Orta told the station.

Damn crackheads.  They'll sell anything for a hit.

"Hey man, I got a shark.  How much will you give me for a shark?"

Shark ain't bad to eat, if you get it cleaned up as soon as you get it out of the water, otherwise, forget it.

I used to work at a place that served Mako.  I've never tried it; I heard it wasn't worth the extra expense.

"It was a relief that it was a shark," said Keith Smith. "When I first saw it, I thought it was a body because of all the shootings that have been going on."

Taste isn't that much different than swordfish.
