The "Jaws" Franchise And NOT Shark Fin Soup

NOTE: This podcast was rebranded on 5/29/25 as "Horror Movie Franchises".  This week we cover the first summer blockbuster movie-- "Jaws" and it's 3 sequels. "Jaws" put director Stephen Steven Spielberg on the map and won 3 Academy awards-- Best Original Score (for composer John Williams), Best Sound and Best Film Editing. It was also nominated for Best Picture. The movie holds up surprisingly well for being 45 years old. And for this week's recipe, you might think I'd go with shark fin soup. That'd be a BIG nope. Sharks have been hunted almost to extinction with one of the main reasons being for their fins. See this article on EcoWatch that reviews recent US legislation to prohibit the sale/use of shark fins.  Instead I'm going with a recipe from the Martha Vineyards Magazine for tasty scampi with calamari.
