Gutting and preparing doggies

**Fynn** · 23-11-2005, 17:52

I have decided to take a few doggies back for eating.

Yes I have heared that they taste like shat from some forum members but I have decided to give them ago anyway.

I heared today that if you don't skin them straight away they stink of Pee but if prepared properly are quite nice.

Any tips before I go skinning and killing in the name of waste as I would prefere to do this right.

i'm pretty sure, as you say, that you need to skin them asap, i was told how to prepare them but have forgotton, so not much use to you i'm afraid, the only thing i do reember, is i'm sue the guy told me youhave to freeze them, not eaten fresh,

How could you eat a 'singing Dogfish'.

The dirty sods pee through their skin, just like skate.

I only once saw someone prep one and there was blood and sweat everywhere and the end product ...... didn't justify but good luck anyway !

Humans pee through their skin too.

Yeah I have heared they take some gutting.

I'm not eating any of them either !

What I saw was 1) gut the fish. 2) take all the fins off. 3) cut around the 'neck' 4) pull like mad towards the tail. I did hear that it is better to nail their heads to a board before you start peeling because they do not want to give up their skin easily.

How about trying a nice Wrasse instead

?

kill it and gut it, then make a cut all the way around in front of the head, start to peel the skin back, you'll need a pair of pliers to grip the skin, peel the skin back all down the body to the tail then cut off the tail and head, wash it ready to take home

wash it again, put it in foil, add, butter, black pepper and dill or a little garlic, wrap it in foil and bake it in the oven, lovely

A board and nail it is then.

Bet I'll bloody blank now I have decided to eat one.
Do they have to be eaten quickly. I was thinking of keeping it a day or so.
