Šahojaluhk (Niryokulta: [ˈɕahojalʊʰk]; fermented shark or shahoyaluhk in English) is Akamyokulta's national dish consisting of specially fermented sleeper shark meat that has been hung dry for four to six months (in certain regions, flesh is fermented in sealskin). It has strong, ammonia smell and fishy taste. The food is still very popular among Yokultans, even though its tradition has begun before more than 1,500 years.
By foreigners, it has been referred to as "the worst food they've ever eaten", though others obviously enjoyed it despite its smell and taste, thus making it an acquired taste.
