The dish is often served with various toppings and sauces, such as cucumber, shredded lettuce, and hot sauce, allowing for a customizable flavor experience. The preparation of bake involves mixing flour, baking powder, and water to create a dough, which is then deep-fried until golden brown. The shark is typically marinated and fried separately.
