Fick en dog fisk pa spjutet... en riktigt sunk fisk, o ingen jesus
@Dogfish belong to the same group of fish as sharks, rays and skates. In effect they are miniature sharks and can be found around all of Lundy coastline. Sharks have a skeleton made of cartilage (same bendy material as your ears), rather than bone, and tiny backwards pointing projections, which are modified teeth, all over their skin, rather than scales. Dogfish spend a lot of their time sitting on the seabed in and around kelp forests. Here they hunt crabs, prawns and small fish. They are very slow growing fish, giving birth to small numbers of young. This makes them vulnerable to over-fishing. @
Dogfish really taste good if you gut, bleed, and ice them immediately after catching (like bluefish). Badly handled, they are awful eating (also like bluefish). Well handled, they are as good as mako and close to swordfish, especially on the grill. The meat can be frozen for short periods of time. They are what the Brits use for fish and chips.
Long ago, I saw an article on prepping dogfish for cooking in Salt Water Fisherman and convinced a friend to save one for us to cook. It was delicious. Unfortunately, I've never been able to catch one off the beach, since I mostly use flies."
