was on the pier yisterday afternoon for a couple of hours with my two sons aged 5 n 8
got 2 flatties about 1lb and a dogfish
i was jus about to throw the doggy back when another fisher in his early twenties asked if he could have it for his nanna as she eats them
of course i obliged but was pleased to see that some people up north eat what the southerners cant get enough of a highly underated fish for the table in my opinion.
huss is very nice also but can be a bit salty in places i try not to think what these places might be !

i agree, it is an underated table fish,known as rock salmon in london chippies & cafes, i have ate it & thought it was ok but i would think skinning one & filleting it, could be maybe hard work....unless you know how????? led....

hang it by the mouth on something sturdy
useing a knife cut the skin jus behind the head
then useing a cloth or gloves for protection grab the skin and pull down
it should jus peel of with a bit of effort
i would cook it on the bone after removeing the head
batterd and deep fried or oven baked in tin foil

the best way to cook dogfish is skin it and put it on a piece of clean hardboard with salt black pepper and mixed herbs and lemon juice. then put in a hot oven for 20 minutes when it is cooked take it out and throw it in the bin and then eat the hardboard it tastes better.
