Dogfish

[russ]

Best recipe I heard is to boil them in a large pan of water with a house brick for half an hour.

When done, eat the brick.

you dont know what ur talking about

they gotta be about the best tasting fish going....wish to god i could catch one here....not seen or heard of one since i been in Iceland

i know a lot of people think theyre a pest but i set out last year to try and catch some. mate told me he had caught loads at a place called cricceth in wales, so i went for the weekend..didn't get a one.
however, have since had several nice ones from seaham north pier. i think you can also get them off the blast beach. mine have mostly been on mackeral and ragworm.
i think they taste pretty good too, rolled in flour and fried. found them a right sod to skin though!!!
a local fish shop to me charges over five quid a go so they cant be that bad

anywhere on the west coast is the place to be for them

as for eating them i tried them for the first time last year and i have to say it tasted very nice....

But then again so does my boss, me and the inside of my car.

Port William

A lot of years ago I fished a place called Port William up on the west coast of Scotland, you could catch dogfish every cast, with every bait, fished at every distance, I'm not exaggerating when I say kids could have caught them with a hand line. We were fishing off a little jetty straight out of the back of the car, great fun, managed to catch a couple of codling too 5lb and 3lb.

Might just have to take the caravan up there again sometime to see if they are still around. Never tried eating them mind, but I know of a boat skipper that would eat nothing but dogfish, he said all other fish were scavengers.

Never quite understood that statement
