Dogfish bites

[toonboymc]

Hello boys
I caught my first dogfish from Whithorn and got told it was a nice fish to eat anyway to cut a story short kept 2 to try and can say it was absolutely beautiful skinned them and gave them a good wash then the Missus to be,...filleted the soft spine out then deep fried in crispy batter a few chips and vinegar a lovely bank holiday dinner

nice 1 toonboy tryed it twice first time it was rotten tasted bitter then a was told to remove spine which a thought was a wind up but suprisingly it tasted alot better

[codseeker]

food for thought live and survive off the sea if ya have too dogfish ya wudnt starve

Caught plenty doggies over the west coast & had wondered how/if you could eat them.
After reading this I think I'll be bringing a couple home on the next trip

Cheers,
Sandscorcher

Looked and tasted nice if you look on you tube it shows the best way to skin I found putting in a bowl of boiling water then scrubbing it and the skin dropped off but give a good wash to get rid of the ammonia smell cut in chunks was like a lovely better than scampi matey

Ill be trying it when i catch one. Seem to be very few people who actually want to catch them

I like them too i caught some canny ones at whithorn and also took some home, i don't mind catching them especially when they turn up on our beaches

...And eat them

Loads of em up in south west Scotland, I go up at least once a year and you can guarantee doggys, or "rock salmon" as the locals call them

Never tried them, first good review I have heard.
